Hmm. This is the rule I go by,
If insur- refers to a monetary amount, use 'for'. (at the price of)
If insur- refers to something terrible happening, use 'against'. (protection)
Is it a toss-up between for and against in these two sentences?
We're insured ________ that sort of thing.
We have insurance _______ that sort of thing.
The kind of insurance I am referring to is the 'standard' kind (that you take out at Mutual of Omaha)!

Good rule of thumb. Thanks!
