As far as I know, there is no strong relationship between race and lifetime insurance expenditures. Hypothetically though, yes, insurance companies should be allowed to make optimal decisions based on full actuarial information. Anything else, besides being sub-optimal and confounding the effectiveness of market mechanisms, would amount to the effective intentional transfer of wealth based on race, which is morally much worse than rational actuarial pricing that incidentally involves race as a predictor.
