Bump & Ping
bttt
I would think that other arguably "genetically based behaviors" that result in higher health problems (alcoholism, obesity, etc.) result in higher insurance rates. i don't know.
what I DO know is that these other behaviors are not encouraged through state-created institutions, with the attendant tax and other benefits.
Just a thought.
I didn't have to read anything but the title to agree.
Ping!
It has since become a euphemism for officially subsidizing perversion.
Before I retired from a large bank here in town, it was a noted thing far a homosexal to be off work for five months 29 days then the homosexal supervisor would let them come back and set around one day so they would be able to draw another six months off on disabilty.This went on till the bank went out of business
GASP! No not THAT! It's all Bush's fault, not theirs!

Absolutely. I remember our new pastor when I was a senior in high school couldn't get cheaper insurance because he was so overweight.
He still is fifteen years later. But apparently he has a teaching position or something that pays better.
"An analysis conducted at the end of 1997 by the Centers for Disease Control revealed that fully 60 percent of all AIDS cases in the United States are found among homosexual men. This is an amazingly high figure, especially when we consider that homosexuals--contrary to Kinsey's flawed study and fabricated "one-in-ten" myth--constitute only about 1 to 2 percent of our total population."
Funny how a small minority of the population is the largest contributor to AIDS. 98% of the population shouldn't pay the increased insurance benefits for 2% of the population's high risk behavior. A convicted drunk driver pays higher car insurance rates (high risk) compared to those who maintain a clean driving record. It shouldn't be any different here.
It is an indisputable biological dead end.
The queer mafia are nothing but parasites.
Smokers have to pay more for insurance, because of the added health risk. It makes sense to put an "HIV rider" on policies, to be purchased by those who think they need it, and ignored by those who, because of a less promiscuous lifestyle, may not feel the need for it. That makes more sense than expecting everybody in the insurance pool to be penalized for the behavior of a few.
Unprotected homosexual intercourse is far more dangerous than smoking. Smokers pay more for / cannot get the cheapest health insurance. The implication is obvious, but political correctness prevents do the right thing from a business perspective.
When they're no longer "useful" as a political tool.
DO agree with one possible caveate-- Have seen the revolving door most non-faith rehabilitation programs
result in. The Local VA drug rehab program as one example.
Every time the druggie-or alcoholic confirms they have sufficiantly progressed to claim completion of in-house
rehab they are released to the same streets and environment where they had so many facilitators before going to (often -court ordered) rehab. Too often within
months these addicts are returned to the rehab program
and meet with the same results. It seems the same can almost be said of the reprobates.
But the cancer ward has yet to find its'Ryan White nor a
sypathetic Democratic Party to push for protected class
status for the aqualung ward.
