They are doing that already. I know of companies that regularly test for nicotine, and will fire or discipline you if you come up positive. I know of a few personally who will charge you higher rates for each point of BMI you are above normal.
If you expect someone to pay for your health care, they will take an interest in what you do to protect the investment.

Yes, and the backlash is coming. It will be led and driven by (Heaven Help Us)....Libertarians. The rest of us may have to make our peace with the idea of dope addicts laying around in every park as the price for restoring some semblance of individual liberty.
