The subsidies encourage people to get insurance at work, stifling the individual non-group market, and they encourage employers to provide overly generous insurance since the cost is subsidized. What's more, the subsidy is upside down - aiding mostly the high-income families that would probably purchase insurance under any scenario, and providing little aid to those of modest means.

Because of the loss of their habitat, the coyotes are hungry, and they're displaced, and they're hunting. The sad fact of the matter is, they're probably going to have to be eliminated. But even that is a tall, tall order. Even with the best of intentions, we may not be able to prevent what is happening.
