    "Discount" to insurance comes when in a large, varied pool because the insurance company takes on less risk. Imagine one company that insures everybody who works at Microsoft versus another company who insures the same quantity of people but they all have diabetes. One of those scenarios is vastly more expensive for the insurance company and thus for the consumer.
