"Most taxes are paid by people in the same demographic group that carries the high actuarial risk."

True, and not a problem.

Then don't bother. Any move to governmentalize a system that is functioning for no appreciable gain is a bad move.

It incurs the additional cost of unaccountable bureaucrats, not to mention the 40% government inefficiency overhead.

"All that is accomplished is shifting the decision making to unaccountable bureaucrats some of whom will abuse their power for personal reasons.

That is a lose / lose proposition."

Changing the subject.

"That is a whole different issue involving ethics and a lot more."

Your response did not address the issue in any way. I prefer not to get into the ethics of genetics and you did not address it.
