Coming from someone that used to own an insurance agency - state funded health insurance is a bad idea. (Puts hard working people out of business)

And also Lee - really think long and hard before going with a term policy. I can't remember the statistics now, but its something like "only 4% of term policies ever pay out" (which is a result of - if you ever don't pay your premium or if you live 26 years, etc)

All I'm saying is really look around first - whole life is always my personal recommendation.
