Default Re: Fat Acceptance

In fact, part of "fair insurance" is ensuring that those who have the most risk bear the most financial burden. It is against regulations of whoever it is that regulates to charge equal amounts to people of unequal risk (I'm not sure it's a legal matter, it might just be industry standard). I have friends who are actuaries (for those who don't know, they're the guys who decide how much the insurance companies charge whom).
