Because there have been so many problems with FEMA and DHS in the past, it has led the federal government to examine their options in creating a better organizational solution. The federal government is now looking to solutions such as changing federal law to give the president authority to order federal assistance in the absence of requests from state governors, enlarging the role of the Department of Defense and other federal departments for domestic emergency response, and removing FEMA from DHS and have its director report directly to the President (Majors 2008).

Some of the cons of it would be if the United States went universal we would lose out on a lot of companies. Which I think is kind of selfish if you ask me.
