But in such a situation can't blame them for trying.

Actually I think cancer is exactly that sort of force majeur that could be subject to insurance. Perverse incentives come from ability to overprice the drugs and other services because patient both has no choice and paying it from insurance.

I'm not sure insurance model is even fit for healthcare. In general insurance exists to spread out losses from force majeure over a large pool of people/companies but it acts by compensating via calculating damage/loss of profit based on existing contracts. While a person's health is lot more complex than any contract and there are too many subjective variables in medicine. Doing insurance there would lead to awful lot of perverse incentives.

Caloric content is calculated by burning things in calorimeter and measuring resulting temperature change. So I can only say that this thing is inflammable.

That's my favorite theoretic apocalypse. Since it spreads with speed of light you won't see it coming. Maybe it already happened and we're about to enter true vacuum and cease to exist. However I doubt it because this idea is based on incomplete models of things that we still yet to have to learn properly.

Just 4 stars? I guess it has not enough H2O and too much NH3.
