Correct. The market has its uses. The care for the sick, drunk and injured is not one of them.
Why? And how far do you wish to take it? If gov has to take care of the sick, drunk, and injured why not outlaw alcohol? Wait better outlaw walking in tall shoes since you might fall even if you aren't drunk? Or for that matter why let people walk outside at all. Stay home so you are 100% safe and a government delivery truck will drop off food for you. You can't be a little bit pregnant and you can't be a little bit unfree. It's one thing to say I don't wish to fight this gov bs because it's not worth it and another thing to say oh this stealing and abuse is for my and others benefit.
I don't know what you are advocating here. Some women get drunk. Some women wear high heels. Every Saturday night, the 2 groups overlap and there are broken ankles.
Either you have a concept of a market that works for drunk injured folk or you need a non-market solution.
