This recent Op-Ed from the New York Times... poses some interesting questions about some proposed plans to require individuals to make personal, written commitments to take charge of their own healthcare in order to participate in government plans. Possible requirements are to require personal savings for healthcare, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keeping doctor check up appointments, maintaining a healthy weight etc, etc.
While this seems far off in the future, and there are no details on how it could be accomplished, there are also questions on the practicality and legality of the concept, as well as the effect on the economy.
Posted just as food for thought.
