![]() Really? Find a private US insurance firm that will write a travel insurance policy for an elite athlete competing in that dangerous sport, then let us know the cost.
Although I just realized: that will be available by the end of next year, due to Obamacares. The ACA exchanges kick in next year, and will be fully functional by the end. So there will be insurance companies (probably the non-profits on the exchanges) that will start writing high-risk policies. People have said that the above provision, that of allowing non-profit insurance companies to enter the exchange market, will do for healthcare opportunity costs what Medicare currently does. As the non--profits don't have to gouge for a profit-margin (like Medicare, which is much less expensive to deliver than private insurance) - they will be able to undercut the for-profits markedly for both healthy and unhealthy patients.
