Not denial, but businesses classified as for profit are certainly within moral rights to claim risk appropriate premium.
Insurance companies have to toe the thin line between a business and a social good. With prediction models to become more and more accurate I would be happier if we have non-profit insurance that amortizes/socializes the draw of the lottery. For voluntary choices of risky behavior, drug addiction, unsafe sex, etc etc., I think insurance companies are within their rights to charge more.

I would agree in principle, but notice that health "insurance" has migrated from a risk-management product to a health care financing/service provision mechanism.
