Why are Schengen visa applicants required to get travel insurance?

Apart from the law that states that all USV applicants must have travel insurance, the main reason why the organization wants to require travel insurance is to protect both the governments under the Schengen organization and the travellers who are within the region.

Imagine if you are travelling on a tight budget and you get sick or lose your wallet or your luggage, you do not have any buffer or safety net to protect you and save you from a big expense. In effect, the $80-$100 travel insurance may just save you from thousands of euros expense should you get sick, lose items, or worse meet an accident. The travel insurance is an investment that you need when you are travelling.
