I am not talking about the fact I may live longer and healthier, but just the cost of my insurance premium affected by what I do while someone on the government's role does not have the same responsibility or suffer the consequence as a result of this choice.

I think you might be referring to those who are on medicaid. Those who are on medicaid usually receive food "stamps" too. Perhaps there should be stricter rules on what they can buy with their food-stamp-card. How about "no processed foods" like chips 'n' dips, cookies, donuts, ice cream, frozen pizza etc.? Just natural whole foods.
