It can be if the blood work is a condition of underwriting. When this happens what you generally find in the small print is the higher rate is actually what you are charged with a discount for complying with all the underwriting requirements. It is technically the loss of a discount not an increase in the premium.

Why should people who are obese people who smoke or people who drink have to pay more for health insurance?

All insurances adjust rates based on risk. For health insurance, if your are considered more at risk for having health problems, an increase in premium may be added. Home insurance adds premium if you live on a flood plain. Life insurance has similar cost increases for "at risk" customers. I don't know if it's still the case, but I believe both life and health insurance may still have additional costs according to age, past health history, heart rate, blood pressure, and even genetic related diseases of your parents, grandparents and siblings. Sometimes they call it a discount if you 'pass' these tests. Put yourself in the insurers shoes and you will understand why they do this.
