Of course, because reasons. Because health is a bit more complex than "you get a speeding ticket, you're a bad driver"

You mean to say that the US already has super-socialized medical care? Erm, no. It's nowhere even close to being "super-socialized".

Indeed. And I mentioned this in my comment:
Healthcare is a complex problem which should also include solutions for crazy amounts of sugar in American foods and drinks, better food in schools, better access to healthy foods for low-income families etc. etc.
Before punishing obese people the US should take quite a few steps towards helping people not become obese. Because even fast food is healthier in Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMaW6TamNAc
I've paid much higher premiums than my sister simply because of my sex. If I get a speeding ticket, reckless driving, at-fault accident, or any number of things, my insurance will skyrocket enough to cover my added costs to the system (interesting, in my earlier years with my perfect record and despite my sister's many speeding tickets, I still wound up paying more for insurance for an equivalent vehicle).
EVERY insurance increases premiums for high-risk situations EXCEPT health insurance because reasons.

Obesity in the US happens at a much higher rate than other countries. My main point was that we are already super-socialized and the real issue lies elsewhere.
