Exactly. Do you seriously not understand why insuring guys earning millions a year is a bigger issue than insuring a dime a dozen laborer?
Never mind the fact that all of those jobs go to great lengths to limit hazards. Do you think a heavy equipment operator could be insured if part of his job involved getting repeatedly smashed in the head?
