I think I'd need to see a better argument that we're moving the burden of consequences. Riding a bike with no helmet is known risky behavior; if they get hit by a car or fall or their bike and have to go to the hospital, would you say that's shifting the burden of consequence? People with Syphilis who get tested and help for it still pay their taxes, which helped fund their treatment. They still have consequences such as having to see a doctor, take medicine which may be unpleasant (ever have GI side-effects from an anti-biotic?), and of course they experience the side-effects of, you know, having Syphilis. The government isn't taking $20 out of your wallet to bribe the bacteria to not infect someone.
