1) I do casualty insurance, not health insurance, so the impact on my career wouldn't be immediate. It would definitely happen, but it would take a few years. Most of my business is construction related anyway, which means that injuries to individuals that require medical care are rare. Most of the claims I see are for property damage.
2) I'm primarily a negotiator/salesman, more than anything else, and I imagine I would be spectacularly bad at administrative work.
3) Even in a single payer world, there is still the need for folks like me, as demonstrated by the fact that London is the largest insurance market in the world and has a single payer system. I'd probably just change my focus.
