Insurance companies are prohibited from increasing premiums on individuals. Instead, they "redline" an area and increase premiums on all policyholders in the redlined area. Health insurance companies use zip codes to calculate the premium because health costs vary by region. In both cases, if an individual policyholder becomes too expensive to continue to insure they just refuse to renew the policy.
