Some fraction of people who request and get reasonable loans will be unable to pay those loans back through no fault of their own. For instance, like my wife, they suffer an unexpected injury and suddenly the career path they were planning on becomes closed to them. What should happen in that case?

You lay reasonable plans. But shit happens. What happens in that case? Is it really your fault if plans that were 95% certain to work out fail due to forces beyond your control? How are people that that happens to NOT victims?

Insurance is a great way to hedge against career ending injury.
