You can't do this in the United States ... because of Obamacare. Obamacare's prohibition on discriminating on pre-existing conditions allows health insurance companies to consider exactly five factors: tier (level of coverage), age, location, single or family, and whether you smoke cigarettes. All other factors are illegal. Prior to Obamacare, it was legal for companies to charge unvaccinated individuals more and inidivudals who exercised less.
