Do you ever ask them why they're paying more to hurt people? I'd think they'd be on it just for the "you're gonna pay less money" line, but racists gonna racist...

(It may just be my experience, but these types tend to be racist and that's one of the driving factors, not paying for minorities)

It's not even racism. It's just plain evil. There might be a bit of it, it was just not wanting anybody benefiting.

At first they rationalized it by saying is cheaper, but when they shared the costs it was brutal. They then said it was better and started ranting about how it's actually not good either. It was a bit weird and he was kind of my boss so I didn't want to push it.

i'm white as fuck and if they could only choose one minority to not be on their health plan, it'd be the disabled. has been said to my face, by someone who had been a friend before they moved to an extremely conservative locale, shortly after i had some semi-vital organs removed.
