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?

Where does the determination of Personal Responsibility begin? How do we deal with the following issues in rationing health care?
use of alcohol, tobacco, legal and illegal drugs, tanning beds . failure to use sun block, stress injuries from running etc, trauma from activies like skydiving , and other sports injuries . Who determines what is the Personal Responsibility?
If one is injured while speeding , does he deserve care?
