I agree with you in theory, but how do we get back from the brink we're on? How do we pass laws that say "if you wear a motorcycle helmet and drive safely and still get injured, you are entitled to have society pay for your lifetime care, but if you don't, and you don't have your own insurance or resources to pay for care, you are put out on the street to die and tough luck." Until we get there, or somewhere similar, we're stuck with societal costs of individal decisions. And if society is paying the bill, society has a right, IMO, to regulate the risks people take.
