When I sell something I price it at my thought on value. To someone else that may be a ridiculously high price but to me it is the price point I am willing to business at.
Obviously not every company will do that, but those companies who don't want to do business with you can easily push you away without "breaking the law." Example: last year one's policy was $800 but this year $1900 because your roof is too old. Prove it they will say when the customer complains or look elsewhere (because that was the idea). That may be their "price to do business' as well as the way they can say goodbye to someone they don't want to cover.
