If you "assure" someone, you put them at ease.
If you "ensure" something, you seek to improve the possibility of making something happen.
If you "insure" something, you are paying money to protect something or someone against unforeseen accidents.
NOT the same word and NOT interechangeable.
(And of course, if you're talking about "Ensure," then you're drinking a nasty protien shake or eating fortified pudding, possibly at the hospital.)
