No, the worst thing that can happen to Gunner is that he won't be able to
afford health insurance and will have a catastrophic health problem. He
won't be able to pay for proper health care and he'll wind up partially or
completely disabled and will live out his remaining years in abject misery
and poverty regardless of his former skills. But had he the money to pay for
excellent insurance he would have been well cared for and returned to good
health. Unfortunately, in a capitalist system only those who are very
successful have access to that level of health care. Gunner would still
argue it's the best system even though he's screwed by it once again proving
that he's stupid, irrational, or most likely, both.

He recently had heart problems .. uninsured .... those
nasty liberals at the hospital saved his life anyway .....
No doubt he regrets it & blames them.

Many packs of cigarettes each day he can no doubt afford.
And probably many more guns.
