> Drinking, smoking, unhealthy lifestyle
Make those things expensive and subsidize the health system. And of course don't push people into these things in the first place. The smoking industry for instance should have never been allowed to be that powerful (and maybe smoking would not be such a good thing).
Also make the healthier alternatives cheaper (e.g. healthy food should be cheaper than junk food).
This way, you mostly solve the problem by making people with unhealthy choices fund the heath system they therefore need.
But in any case you can't really think individually: those people with unhealthy lifestyles have probably been collectively making your life better by being part of the society on which you depend for pretty much everything. Who knows, maybe someone you saved by subsidizing their cure will save you from a bus accident tomorrow. It's complex.
