If AIG fails then all the people who hold policies but have not made any claims have lost nothing - they will just go get policies with some other company and that other company will prosper. Out with the bad in with the good.


But people who have made claims and are waiting for payments will not get them. Those people are spread out, not only all over the US, but also all over the world.


It is much better for the pain to be spread out across those who dealt with AIG than for it to be felt only by the innocent US taxpayer. (and I should mention that we have seen that burdening the US taxpayer has resulted in a huge loss in the worth of the dollar so all US citizens are paying for it).
