This principle of anti-subordination is critical to formulating antieugenic policy, not just in the areas of health insurance and education, but also in other forms of insurance, employment, lending, and housing. Eugenic policy, historically and in the present day, works to create and subjugate an economic and racial underclass by labeling people in that underclass as biologically inferior. Anti-eugenic policy, then, must fight the emergence of a new “genetic” underclass, i.e., where people are excluded from access to health care, housing, lending, or insurance on the basis of traits, such as their health or educational history, that are themselves partly the outcome of the genetic lottery.
