It's not the same as the income situation. In that situation it's about whoever pays you not wanting you to know that you're being undervalued compared to your coworkers. With healthcare it's about not wanting your community to know things and have biases against you and treat you differently because of your medical history.

Imagine you used to have cancer and beat it, and independent of that fact are looking for a new job that offers health insurance.

If your condition every resurfaces, you're going to be a real expensive hire for your employer in terms of time off (for treatments and recovery) and your new health insurance provider.

You might be so expensive that they decide not to hire you, or decide not to cover you.

If you want to think of your own cases, think about medical conditions that have been stigmatized over the course of history and how people's actual lives are effected by them.
