OK. This lowers the amount of people the companies would be discriminating aginst. Therefore, the insurance company is saving less money. Therefore, we have more reason to force them to insure said people, if it affects them less.
That is completely disconnected, and illogical. We have no reason to force insurance companies to do anything other than honor the contracts which they have signed.

Why does it have to be a business?
Because everything is a business. Everything. -- A quote from Petro's Archives: ********************************************** "We forbid any course that says we restrict free speech." --Dr. Kathleen Dixon, Director of Women s Studies, Bowling Green State University
