"Getting poor sleep I see. Sounds like this person is higher risk than the average population. After review it seems we should increase all insurance plans by 20%"

I guess that is mostly only applicable in the US with our for profit healthcare system though.

It's applicable in the US in the sense that it's illegal to do.

Insurance companies have no issue adjusting car insurance rates based on the "safe driving monitor" that they provide you put in your car. Even if you drive safe they adjust by mileage. Not sure how this is any different...just another line in the TOS.

It isn't just health insurance you need to think about.

It's illegal only if you have the means to bring a lawsuit forward and reasonably prove this is happening, which is difficult without a full third-party audit of the codebase of the company.

Illegally applicable. The best kind of applicable.
