Domestic Violence Raises Health Insurance Premiums

Many libertarians and anarchists and self-identified "pleasure-seeking" sadomasohcists of Austin, Texas, apparently maintain that "If one partner in a marriage or sexual relationship chooses to physically beat or physically whip his or her partner in person inside their home or apartment or condo unit in a mutual-consent context, this is all privacy-rights-protected and is no concern to the government or to anyone else."

I would like to respond to that callous contention by many libertarians and anarchists and S&M "proponents" of Austin, with the following:

Contrary to what you claim, sadomasochistic physical violence inflicted by one "romantic" partner or "sex" partner upon another inside a private residence does undermine the legal and human rights of others.

It does that by inflicting numerous specific major medical problems on the individuals being victimized by sadomasochistic physical abuse inside their residence. When those individuals eventually seek medical treatment in a hospital or at a medical clinic for medically-observable physical damage to their own bodies resulting from those 'mutual-consent' beatings and whippings, that plays a role in an outrageous increase in the health-insurance premiums that they and many other Americans then have to pay.
