Police, firefighters...all have dangerous jobs and many get health issues...what insurance company would want them? Right now the government covers the uninsurable...or they subsidize it. What insurance company would WANT to insure the poor who are too stupid or lazy to take care of themselves?

The REAL scope of the problem is that poor minorities are going to drive us bankrupt...and then, when the money stops, a civil war. Expect it within 30 years. When the Hispanics become the majority...all hell will break loose. I personally expect it much sooner. The world is 80% poor people.
