Not having insurance to pay if something bad happens or if you need care or repairs.

[someone]/[something] is uninsured
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "uninsured" with "ensured" or "assured" because they look similar. "Uninsured" is only about not having insurance. Also, some learners think it can describe feelings (e.g. *"I feel uninsured"*); it should describe protection or status related to insurance, not emotions.
