I'm sorry, but this sounds dead on to me (and my BMI is over 30). If I'm too lazy, or too sick, to keep my BMI down, or if I have preexisting medical conditions that make me much more likely to cost the insurance provider more, I have no problem with being charged more. This is a great incentive to take preventative action, when possible (BMI, smoking, a better diet, etc), and it is a reasonable provision when not possible.
This will lower the insurance for the fit and healthy who never see a doctor (but want the insurance "just in case", and raise the cost for insurance for those who are ill or lazy and go often (I'm speaking in the long run, of course).
Sounds fine to me.
