Why not? Wouldn't it not work out for the long run if we did? Healthier lifestyles and body weight equals fewer health problems, fewer visits to the doctor maybe even the emergency room. Those fewer visits and emergency room visits add up in a good way.

If they were, people would be running out of financial excuses as to why they aren't exercising/eating healthy in first place. As a result, a lot more would be in shape.

If you're paying for insurance, why not have them help you out? It's no different than paying to help quit smoking.
