Amid the ongoing wars over the failing Obamacare – the stratospheric costs, the huge co-pays, the high deductibles, the general lack of market competition and the huge and invasive government spying on procedures and patients, one state is working on something unique.

BearCare.

At least that's what officials in Wyoming are calling their plan to provide catastrophic coverage for events like an attack from a bear.
It is the Cowboy State Daily that explained the odds of getting attacked by an angry grizzly, or hit by a bus or some other rare event are low.

But they do happen.

The report cited the problems for Shayne Patrick Burke, 35, who was attacked by an angry momma grizzle in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. On social media he said it was the most violent experience of his life.

The new "BearCare" now is part of a series of proposals from the state department of health turned over to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The idea comes from people who need the coverage.

"More than 1,300 Wyoming residents responded to an online survey addressing the health care priorities of rural communities," Cowboy State reported.

And Miranda Hinkle, of the state department, said there were concerns over accessibility, costs and such.

Also, about "BearCare," which isn't a replacement for routine health insurance but would kick in for catastrophes, like the one experienced by Burke, or the one for Celia Easton.

She was in elk hunting country when, because of a wet morning, pulled on her "muck" boots.

She saw a mama grizzly charging about three seconds before impact, the report said.

But when the bear chomped on her foot, the boot came off and the bear scampered.

The state plan covers things besides bears, such as "necessary medical services in an episode of care beginning with an emergency anchor event."
