Kenneth, that is VERY cheap insurance. If the govt wishes to have such a program, they could easily have AN INSURANCE program purely for survivors benefits. Its the equivalent of TERM life insurance but even CHEAPER cause there is no lump sum payout. It would or should be based upon age and I bet a non smoker under 40 would pay less then a couple $$ a month for it. jdn
