I might agree (cf. also the comments of others about the wages of sin), but only if you keep them out of my health insurance rating pool.

Covering HIV treatments for the sexually wanton makes the rest of us pay monetarily for techonologically delaying the wages of sin for them. While aiding the sick is a Christian duty, being forced to do so through increased insurance premiums is neither Christian (it deprives one of the opportunity to willingly give charitiy in imitation of our Father who 'makes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust', and deprives the recipient of contact with the Gospel when a Christian ministers to him) nor good social policy.

Don't like it? Don't get insurance.

That reminds me of a similar idea. The bible says "if anyone will not work, then neither shall he eat". Now if we try to undo that whole rule with welfare, look at all the bad consequences we get. We have a population that won't work, has tons of free time on their hands, gets even more money for even more kids born as bastards. We end up destroying a whole group of people in their own sin by leading them to the temptation of not working.

Agreed. I'm sick of paying higher costs in insurance as well as taxes, just so it can be given to someone who didn't earn it.
