Personal responsibility of health care involves voluntary adherence of healthy lifestyles and making efforts to maintain good health so as to spend less money on health care. However, some measures such as the redesigned West Virginia Medicaid program, which requires people to sign and strictly follow a 'Medicaid Member Agreement' to avail the benefits of the program, are considered coercive and potentially counterproductive.
