I assume the "disaster" you're referring to is Affordable Care Act which has no impact if you currently have insurance. If you like your insurance, nothing will change for you.

If you were to lose your "hard earned" job, starting in 2013, you could, if you wished, get another health plan through your state exchange plan kind of like Cobra without the time limit or simply pay a penalty for not being covered.

If you or someone in your family has a preexisting condition, you won't be denyed coverage and will continue to get coverage even if you've reached your lifetime limit.

Hardly anything there not to like and hardly a disaster if that is what you're referring to.
