Wouldn't this in turn enable what is, by and large, an avoidable state of self that adds considerable strain on an already overly-taxed medical system?

Placing the burden of reducing strain on a medical system as bad as the USA's is ridiculous. There are reasons to want to avoid obesity but how is one of them to accommodate the medical system? The reasoning is completely backwards. It's like saying that the legal system should not get better at finding who is at fault because it will reduce people's self-reliance at resolving conflicts.

Suppose I break my collar bone riding my bike down a mountain. That's a totally avoidable state of self; people really shouldn't be doing 60mph without adequate protective equipment. Should I be turned away at the hospital?
