you REALLY don't see how people taking care of themselves decreases overall healthcare expenditure?

It sounds correct but is it actually? I'm just asking.
The most expensive patients in the system are non-compliant diabetics. These are people that will not manage a chronic, but very manageable disease, despite serious and repeated health issues.

If those poeple aren't going to make much effort to take care of themselves... I'd love to hear how we're going to make the masses of people running around 50-lbs overweight... to suddenly start caring for themselves.

Ultimately, if your own health isn't incentive enough to be healthy... what external motivation will?

simple... money... in the form of tax breaks, tax incentives, increases to HSA yields, etc... the answer is always, or at least almost always, money
