It's covered when the camera is under warranty - I think standard warranty is 1 year and some retailers offer extended warranties for a total of 2, 3, and 5 years.
The most likely scenario is that you will never wear out the shutter, a high percentage of consumers will never shoot that much before the technology is replaced. If you shoot 100 per day, it would take nearly 3 years to reach 100k. If you shoot 100 per week, you are looking at nearly 20 years.
I'm on my 3rd digital camera and each upgrade has been an upgrade in both technology and features/performance. I've not come close to wearing out any of my cameras - although the T2i is on track to hit 10k per year...
