Insurance is not always necessary; it is always a good idea to have, though, because no one really can predict the future.

They are not insured like with money in the bank and the FDIC. But it is safe as to the extent that the insurance company is safe and at this point probably safer than the banks and the FDIC!

Currently 6% guaranteed for 10 years.
If your bank is FDIC insured then your deposits are covered by the US government. Each account will have a maximum insurance limit which changes from time to time.
