Yes there is wiggle room and it's not a set rate. So when you are applying for insurance, if you even do medicals, you're compared against other people your age and situation. So someone who is a 20 year old athlete isn't compared to someone who is 65.
The other thing is that medical requirements are lessening. I can't say they're eliminated now, but they have really cut down on requirements as far as giving blood, urine and blood pressure.
