There are GP surgeries that are still not open, leaving the pharmacy nearby overwhelmed with people asking what they do about repeat scripts and so on.
The doctors in hospitals, yes, very good.
Hancock is a political moron and will be used to scapegoat any inquiry results if required.
Cummings is a windmilling psychopath and Starmer should steer clear of backing him. Unless he believes the castle up north actually had a Specsavers of course....
Maybe my opinion is out of date I have not seen a doctor since 2015. Think they were all still using windows XP back then.

Life insurance won't prevent your death either (in fact it might bring it closer in case somebody wants to collect on it)
So in case of someone who is afraid to "have a walk in the forest" having "insurance" won't affect that from happening, it's not the insurance that's needed in such case, very bad idiom to use - usually people in such situations discover that to their peril.

To purchase an insurance product the definition you are posting about.
To perform an act as a preventive measure against something happening - LM's definition.
Both are correct however they aren't interchangeable.
