Okay, we pay taxes. Isn't this stuff corporately shared by all of us?
Let's charge the householder every time there's a fire. Whenever there's a mugging let's charge the muggee. Let's charge parents who have children for their children's education.
On the other hand, I have long advocated that we need to charge people who engage in risky behavior for the helicopter that flies into some out of reach location and taxis them to the hospital, because they chose to go mountain climbing during a blizzard, fell, and broke both legs.
I say if you're going to stick your head into a lion's mouth, you should be prepared to pay for the funeral. But here we have plain old shared risk. Anyone can have a car accident. Anyone can have their house catch on fire, even people who are careful.
