What about those with type 1 diabetes? No life style choices there. You just had bad luck. Do you still pay more?


Well, you either make that person pay more or you take more from others in the form of higher premiums simply because you feel like it's fair.

Either works but claims are claims and must be paid. There's no getting around that.

Well yeah of course. Which one though? Do we tell everyone to pay their own way? Or do we say, hey we will help pay for stuff as a society that is out of the control of the individual or stuff that everyone deals with like pregnancy but you have to pay for your own issues related to lifestyle diseases.
