Insurance for Essential Workers

I've been bothered by the president's use of power to open meat packing plants, while disregarding the deaths that will eventually come from his actions. I think that these workers should be given some form of life insurance as part of their pay. It costs nothing for the federal government, state government and corporations to force these people into harm's way. The least that can be done for the families of the workers is to have financial security if the worker loses his life. Sure the worker could get own insurance, but shouldn't the risk be shared by those who make decisions.

I think that should be true of all workers who have been deemed essential. Families should have some stability if they give up a loved one for the greater good.
