In a few (rare) cases, the cause is genetic... which complicates the matter.

It would me like the insurance company can charge more if you were born with Down's syndrome, or a predisposition for a heart attack. Although I'm guessing in 99% of cases, the cause is not entirely genetic, but controllable through diet and exercise.

Overall though, I like the idea of rewarding people who make healthier choices. It saves the company money, so why shouldn't that money (or percent) be given back to the person as a reward?
