In regards to predictions of post-rapture economic collapse and insurance institutional failures,....I tend to think the circumstances the people left behind will find themselves in, will somewhat dwarf any considerations of insurance claims and economic downturns.

Yeah..., I'm sure that individuals will look at this in very personal and individualistic ways, as it affects them personally.
However, in terms of "mechanisms" ... it does pay to think about it in these terms, of general circumstances as it affects the economy, what happens to insurance companies (as this author points out) and what happens in terms of the institutions and governments that we are all so used to -- in these present days.
It's that all these things will change, literally, overnight, as all these people disappear. That also goes a long ways in explaining how one charismatic and relatively unknown person can gain control over things so rapidly and institute the changes that many (who are here right now) would resist to their dying breath. There won't be those around resisting anymore. It will be like a "hot knife slicing through butter" for the Antichrist and he will be "revealed" by the circumstances and any resistance to his taking control will be totally removed, in an instant.
So, while this is a different perspective than what is going on with an individual from his own personal perspective, it also pays to understand these things in other terms, in terms of institutions and governments and the world economy and the so-called "church" in general -- and how everything comes together so quickly, quicker than we could ever imagine right now...
I was just reading something on the RaptureReady website, that I think I'll post here, in light of what you just said... :-)
