This has always been a sore spot with me. I think its a disgusting way to say "WE DISCRIMINATE". It is very apparent that we need an overhaul. I myself am overweight and cannot get insurance. I had to resort to a plan that is a discount program as well. I have not had any recent problems, but am on some pills. Seems to me its, as said is a way to not to have to pay anything.
