Health insurance systems, and others, include what is permissible, which is cooperative, Takaful insurance (and this is rare), and what is forbidden, which is commercial insurance (and this is common). The common insurance is a type of gambling and involves gharar (excessive uncertainty) and consuming wealth unjustly, so it is not permissible to subscribe to it.
