Tax the sick.
If we use taxes to discourage behavior we don't like, then when you get sick you pay a tax. Don't want to pay it? Don't get sick. I propose one hundred dollars a day each day you're too sick to go to work or school. The money goes into the general fund.
Now you have an incentive to stay healthy, and it won't cost you a penny and won't involve any government interference.
