What if their employers decline to pay for it? Or what if people with dangerous hobbies decide to take the risk and not pay for additional insurance? Are you OK with these people dying because they can't afford to pay for their health care?

Every now and then I hear of someone in a wing suit dying. I don't like hearing about anyone's death, but I realize they knew the risks. I am not sure where I stand on legalization of various drugs, but I do feel they should have a higher insurance rate. I'm am not OK with anyone dying, but my sympathy level does vary. In fact, I have a higher sympathy for folks who are hooked on various drugs and are trapped by their lifestyle. I am not above my own addictions.
