	Health insurance pricing should not favor those who meet physical standards. Should be prohibited from charging different prices based on pre-existing conditions.

Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (Netherlands)
	Health insurance pricing should not favor those who meet physical standards. Under the New Dutch Insurance Act, insurers are obliged to accept everyone in the basic package: they are legally not permitted to select on the basis of risks and ‘expensive customers’.

	Health insurance pricing should not favor those who meet physical standards. This is the whole basis for private health insurance -- that companies prefer to cover only those who need insurance least -- and the very reason that healthcare in America is on the verge of systemic failure.

Barack Obama
	Health insurance pricing should not favor those who meet physical standards. Under Obama's plan Insurers would have to issue every applicant a policy, and charge fair and stable premiums that will not depend upon health status.

	Health insurance pricing should not favor those who meet physical standards. It is wrong that insurance companies can cherry pick - choosing just the healthiest patients and shutting out anyone who seems to them like a bad risk.
