    • For example, one House report states: Under the ADA, a person with a disability cannot be ... subject to different terms or conditions of insurance based on disability alone, if the disability does not impose increased risk. Moreover, while a plan which limits certain kinds of coverage based on classification of risk would be allowed under this section, the plan may not refuse to insure ... or limit the amount, extent, or kind of coverage available to an individual, or charge a different rate for the same coverage solely because of a physical or mental impairment, except where the refusal, limitation, or rate differential is based on sound actuarial principles or is related to actual or reasonably anticipated experience. H.R. REP. NO. 101-485, pt 2, at 136-37 (1990), reprinted in 1990 U.S.C.C.A.N. 303, 419-20. Another provision states that, "[t]he [safe harbor] provisions recognize that benefit plans . . . need to be able to continue business practices in the way they underwrite, classify, and administer risks, so long as they carry out those functions in accordance with accepted principles of insurance risk classification."
