It depends on the situation. If your insurance company offers incentives and part of that is to join health clubs, then it may seem as if you are paying more. If you are paying more for health insurance simply because you do not choose their fitness plan, you need to meet with your human resources department and find out what entitles the company to charge more. Then take that answer to the agency in your state that regulates insurance companies and seek an opinion.
