Shouldn't recipients of health care benefits be subjected to the same moral scrutiny as the payers?

The current “health care” debate (it isn’t health care, it’s sick care, but never mind) centers around the question as to whether or not well people should be forced pay more than they need to into a pool in order to care for people who are not well but cannot or, in some cases, will not pay for themselves.

The moral justification for this is that somebody must pay for the sick, so why not the well?

On the other hand, there does not seem to be the same moral pressure upon the recipients of the benefits of forced contribution to the pool.

I do not hear much talk about forcing fat people to exercise and eat fewer fries. I do not hear much talk about forcing people to quit smoking and practice safe sex. I do not hear much talk about forcing people to be generally thoughtful about health issues, instead of impulsive.

I AM NOT talking about conditions that people do not control. The most conservative folks I know are willing to help those afflicted in a fashion that does not involve choice.

But where choice is an issue, why not the same moral pressure?
