We are then right back where we started. The insurance companies have the power to deny or revoke coverage based on what they deem is a healthy lifestyle.

Rekna,
What he is stating has nothing to do with the insurance company. It has to do with Dogzilla's wallet. Ultimately, the costs associated with this expanded coverage will come from our (yours, dogzilla's and my) wallet.
To simplify this and every other political argument to its core:
There are people who believe that the haves should be required to pay for the havenots.
There are people who believe that the haves should not be required to pay for the havenots.
Internet hair-splitting isn't going to change people's core positions.
