I don't know about health insurance because when I was a CFI, I 'ran the gauntlet' and had no coverage at all.

However, when it comes to life insurance, we get the short end of the stick as pilots.

First, if you're a private pilot and use those privilidges, some companies won't cover you. Of course they'd cover a soccer mom with a cellular telephone surgically implanted in their ear driving a minivan 20 mph over the speed limit.

And if you're an airline pilot, they're going to want an entirely different package of information to ascertain your risk.
