No, not really. Today's policies are pretty much "you are covered for everything imaginable except the stuff listed as follows" type policies. And they're all pretty much written by the same organization, ISO Properties, Inc. Nobody wants ambiguity, for a zillion reasons, including societal, re-insurance, regulatory, I could go on, and on, and on. It should be pretty easy for anyone to tell what is excluded from their coverage. The truth is, they never take the time to try and see. They think it's too hard, but it's not. And they post stupid-ass questions like "is this excluded from my policy" expecting an answer from people who never get the chance to read the policy in the first place.

No, I'm overpaid because of my surly good looks.
