No, health insurance should not be priced on how healthy you are. Most of the time people that can afford good health care pay less for insurance because they can afford it. Poorer people are in worse health than the wealthy, so charging them even more does not make sense.
Define the health problem?
Many people can not afford health insurance, so health is a big concern for them. Think. Do you go to the doctor and only have to pay, say $20?
