OK. So let's talk about accepting "personal responsibility" as it pertains to Healthcare, and "MAKING" the rest of us buy into a healthcare pool.

Does it only mean that buying Health Insurance is mandated? No, I don't think so.

In order to bring overall healthcare costs down in the U.S., the number one priority is to use the healthcare system as little as possible, thus driving down prices for doctors & hospitals by decreasing demand. How do we do that?

Stay healthy.

Now. Let's talk about a person who might have done things during his/her life that makes them unhealthy today.

Suppose that person claims he is today arthritic & is extremely obese due to personal choices:
1-Rodeoing
2-Overeating and/or not enough exercise

Would you want to be in a "Healthcare Pool" with this person due to the fact that he will indubitably contribute to higher prices for everyone in that pool?

Yes, let's talk about "MAKING" others accept personal responsibility for choices they have made pertaining to healthcare.
