A subrime mortgage is given to people who have bad credit that do not have sufficient credit to recieve a regular mortgage.

Credit insurance protects your credit when you are not able to work or have no job. This insurance pays for a percentage of your expenses.
When the housing market went down the people that had subrime mortagages defaulted which led to banks going bankrupt.
