Like anything else in life, opportunities are often limited. To get into college, you must apply and meet requirements. To get a job, you must apply. There won't be room for everyone in the new medical centers, so why not use it as a unique opportunity to REWARD those who can demonstrate a certain level of personal responsibility in their own healthcare.
Do you like this concept? If so, what should the requirements be?

Ah personal responsibility.....not a popular concept in today's culture. Everything seems to always be someone else fault. Someone else put the temptation in my way....temptation to eat too much. drink too much and exercise too little. It takes too much money or time to cook and eat well. Not to speak of the personal rights and that no one should be allowed to tell me how I should live my life or what things I should do to keep myself safe and healthy. Not sure how to make one take responsibility for there choices in life. What I might consider prudent someone else would consider an intrusion on their personal rights and visa versa.
