Sounds good in theory and in practice, but it ain't going to happen

No, not at all.

What I am saying is that a significant portion of the 6 and under
population are not receiving adequate preventative health care in
their formative years which leads to higher cost medicine in later
years.

As far as a change in lifestyles is concerned, a healthier population
may want to live a healthier lifestyle, but it isn't something you can
quantify.
