Now that's a good question.

Here is one possibility. Preventive care becomes free. That is, you can go for a check-up with no co-pay. People will go, even though the doctor tells them to quit smoking, reduce drinking or lose weight every time. But hearing that will make them think. Well, some of them anyway.
