Should vegetarians be required to pay as much for health and life insurance? |
We get breaks for being non-smokers, not taking risks, why not for being vegetarian. It is a healthier lifestyle, for me at least, and why should we pay for the cardiac care of those who eat meat? Very few vegetarians suffer from heart disease - the leading cause of death in America. Personally as a vegetarian, and as a human being with normal thoughts, I would naturally think this is a good idea. But I have to say that that's not going to happen. Most of the people who make decisions about how much you pay for health and life insurance are not vegetarian, therefore they are probably not going to want to give people like us benefits--then again, if all it takes to pay less money is give up meat, those may be the first people to jump at vegetarianism. I know i just contradicted myself, showing that there ARE two (or more) sides to this insight. Good question-thought provoking! it's not a healthier lifestyle for everyone. i've seen my fair share of vegetarians with poor diets, overweight, don't work out....plus, there's no accounting for bad genetics. Yes - you run the same amount of risk of getting hit by a bus. No, I think that people that eat some meat are just as healthy as vegetarians. Does eating chickpeas make you impervious to being hit by buses...? Thought not.... As a vegetarian I agree with you, but the insurance scam, er I mean industry, doesn't look for ways to LOWER premiums only RAISE them! They are the ONLY industry in the country allowed legal "price fixing". Until we, the consumers, get outraged enough to elect people who arent in the insurance industry's pockets, so that we can have state run insurance co-ops, we will be slaves to the insurance industry and their random rules for "life". family member in the rip-off insurance biz 30+ years! |
