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?

Hmmm, let's see. How about
:
- Don't drink or smoke.
- Exercise at least 60 minutes every day. Wait, is that responsible enough? Wouldn't it be a bit irresponsible not to include cardio for heart, muscle building to reduce BMI and stretching for flexibility?
- Must weigh no more or less than "normal range" for your age and sex.
- Must have a "good" or better BMI regardless of weight
- Must not allow your skin to be exposed to the sun for more than, what, 30 minutes a day? An hour would be irresponsible, right?
- Must get at least 90 percent of the Daily Recommended Allowance of all nutrients that have recommended daily allowances. It might be irresponsible to not get all our nutrients
- Must not eat sugar (except that contained in whole fruit)
- White bread? Fergit about it. You're out!
Is this what you have in mind? Have I left anything out?
