Personally I don't understand how insurance companies get away with all the crap they do. It is against state and federal law to discriminate in any fashion against people based on age, sex, nationality, race, etc., etc. and they do it as a matter of course. If my health insurance goes up because I am older, then they is discrimination based on age. When I was looking for health insurance when I became self employed, my rates would be based on WHERE I lived, which is via demographics, which is a backdoor way of determining my race. And of course, different rates apply depending on what sex you are. This is in blatant violation of the law, yet they get away with it.

They keep getting people pissed off now with the other stuff and their are going to have a class action suit filed against them that would make the tobacco industry lawsuit look like a small claims case!
