Dave,
Your logic can be applied to just about any lifestyle. For example, do
you
ride a bicycle or run? If so then why should my insurance pay for your
hospital stay just because you decided to participate in this high risk
activity and you were hit by a car? After all, it's your decision to go
out
& ride or run on public streets, correct?
My real point is that insurance works because the associated risk &
cost are
spread across all policy holders. In other words, those receive bypass
surgery & chemotherapy get the same treatment as someone who's run over
by a
car & the cost is shared by all.
Go to a health insurance program that sets rates by lifestyle analysis
&
family history and you might find yourself in an expensive, high risk
group
for no other reason than a few distant relatives died from of heart
disease
or cancer! How fair would this scenario be to you?
Thanks,
Tom Hargrave
