No, but if one is obese, what's wrong with having premiums reflect the risk the same way they do for people who smoke? Certain behaviors do increase risk. What's wrong with having people pay more for consquences of their behavior? Not to mention socking people in the wallet may be a better deterent than having the state shake its finger at them.

Where does it stop?  Because with people like you, it's not going to ever stop.  It will just keep going and going and going and going until everyone in the country has to have a mandatory blood screening for 50 different conditions every 4 years.

Personally, I don't think that's conservatism.
