Among industrialized nations, discrimination against the sick and those at serious risk is allowed only in the United States. Only America permits insurers to charge more to people because they are older or have a history of illness in the family or work for a smaller employer. Only in the U.S. is it legal to exclude coverage for the services people need most because of health risks, current illnesses and chronic disorders. Exclusion clauses for diabetes, obesity, hypertension, mental disorders, cancer or heart disease are regarded as "good business practices" in a voluntary competitive system. But about 40 million people do not have health insurance, and during the booming 1990s that figure rose as more employers dropped coverage or made its terms unaffordable. For each percent that health care costs rise, 300,000 more people are dropped from coverage. Health care costs are rising at 8-10 percent a year.
