    No one is forced in public accomodation cases yet that's deemed constitutional. Here no one's forced yet you all argue it's not constitutional. That's the parallel.

    I paid an extra amount of premium because I smoked. Why? Beacuse the odds of me dying earlier was greater.

    People who have more car accidents pay more than I do and they should. Why should I subsidize bad drivers. I have low rates because I don't have accidents.

    One is about being accommodated per existing legislation and the other is about obtaining discounts for lowering risk. Legally, they are not even similar. What JH is doing doesn't even touch on constitutional issues. They are not violating any constitutionally protected rights because it's a voluntary program.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    Neither should touch constitutional issues. The government is no so empowered.
