(If the doctor that keeps you healthier makes you more money, will that not drive doctors to less risky specializations? I'd imagine that a brain surgeon for example sees many more people who are likely to die than say a dermatologist.)

There was a study a long while back, I think I read it in the mid 90s, that the best doctors and hospitals had lower recovery rates, because they took the worst, most difficult, cases. I saw it as part of a discussion of the difficulty of rating health care service providers.

How about this for an incentive: The person who keeps himself healthier, reaps the rewards of a healthier life.
