<<Compare writing covered call to writing insurance is not a good comparision. Selling put is a better comparision to writing insurance.>>

Selling a covered call and selling an uncovered put are the same. Similarly, shorting a stock and buying a call is the same as buying a put. This fact creates arbitrage possibility and is why the prices of puts and calls are so closely linked -- because one can replicate the other.
