I'll start the discussion with this suggestion: One idea might be called "tough love".

Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year for diseases that are caused by poor lifestyle choices.

As one who had five bypasses about five years ago, I wouldn't call this a useless medical procedure. I have two younger brothers and both had similar medical procedures. Of course, none have lived a perfect lifestyle but I can say all three of us were above the average.
VP, the Billionaire you reference, who is he/she. Could he/she be wrong?
