Findings of this study suggest that social solidarity should have the capacity to control legal rationality and economic efficiency. MethodsZZThis study surveyed affirmative actions of the state agencies against insurance discrimination through insurance codes of the Financial Supervisory Service, decisions of district courts, recommendations of the National Human Rights Commission, and legislation of the National Assembly. ResultsZZActions of the state agencies to reduce insurance discrimination against the mentally ill are passive, ritualistic, and superficial. The policy failure of the state agencies is due to secur ing the principle of contract freedom without controlling insurance companies.
