Liberty, properly includes the liberty to treat others unequally.

Even when some other consideration (weather equal treatment itself directly, or some consequence) is considered more important than liberty in this situation, and so a conclusion is teacher that liberty will be limited in the name of equal treatment, or peace between different groups, or whatever, your still limiting liberty. Its still an important moral principle, even if in a particular situation some other principle is given primacy.

And personally I would be against giving equal treatment (by private individuals, I'm not talking about the government here), primacy over liberty.

And the health care insurance case doesn't even involve unequal treatment to any significant extent.
