2. The Legislature finds and declares that the development of health promotion and health-risk reduction programs will serve the best interests of the public welfare by encouraging health care consumers to engage in healthy lifestyle behaviors which will result in a reduction of the long-term costs of providing health care. To this end, participation in healthy lifestyles should be encouraged by requiring that health insurance benefits and health care services be provided for wellness health examinations and counselling.
