The sort of person who would oppose both of these things:

(1) The government requiring you to wear a FitBit and meet with a health counselor as a means of reducing expenses for a public universal healthcare system

(2) Your private company's HR department requiring you to wear a FitBit and meet with a health counselor as a means of reducing their health insurance premiums

Right-libertarians would oppose (1) but be fine with (2) and would say, "Well if you don't like it, you're free to get a different job." Well, many of those other jobs do the same thing. What if this is happening during a recession and high unemployment? And leaving your job without another job available would put you in dire financial straits so you really aren't "free to go."
