Health care and insurance should cost more if you are prone to making unhealthy choices. Here are a few examples:
1. Riding your motorcycle without a helmet. That should boost your deductible when you have an accident. By $250,000 or so.
2. Homeowners policy should not pay off if your house burns down because you were lighting off fireworks.
3. Auto insurance should not repaint your car when it gets keyed for a collection of Trump/MAGA/racist stickers.
