Suppose there was a test that could determine who would win the Super Bowl. A test like this would surely destroy the market for bets on the game. Now imagine that insurance companies had a genetic test to measure the level of health risk a person may have. Today, insurance companies do have the technology and desire to do this. Genetic tests will soon be used by insurance companies to predict the potential health problems of their clients, to set premiums.

The next chart, shown below, illustrates the cost of insurance now that person A discontinues their subscription to insurance. Since their heath risk level is so low, they now longer have any need for heath insurance. Now that person A is gone, the rates of person B and C escalate. Costs for insurance companies to support these two people (B and C) now rise, as their low heath risk person, A, is gone. The insurance company does not make as much profit with moderate and high heath risk customers and is therefore forced to raise rates. Keep in mind that with inflated rates there is a good chance that person B will also drop their insurance.
