not protected by insurance

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

Padron ng paggamit: [someone]/[something] is uninsured
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
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.
Mga kasingkahulugan
without insurance (More explicit phrase; slightly more casual and longer but same basic meaning.) | not covered (Often used in insurance discussions; can also refer to specific risks rather than having no policy at all.)
Mga kasalungat
insured (Direct opposite; clearly states that someone or something has insurance coverage.) | covered (Common in insurance talk, meaning protection exists, often for a specific risk or cost.)
