The way you describe things seems as though you imagine a world where only people who can afford to pay for their own injuries should play sports, race cars/bikes/on foot, go to a zoo, etc. You are leaving it up to chance for the poor person who wants to play a game of football but ends up snapping an ankle in the process. Its all well and good that in your system its only pittence to have the ankle set and cast, but I could make up costs like that as well and say all food should be handed over from farmers at no cost. And why not, its all speculative and magically charitable anyway.

Your 'Steps' aren't really steps but absurd points of a random eutopia where free services are handed out because well, you think they should. Somehow you have developed the notion that you will never need services rendered of a medical nature and that any money you drop into a government orginazation (or whatever since this conversation has evolved a bit) is wasted money.. that you'll never benefit from it. Although I hear almost no one wants cancer these days and never expected to fall ill from it. That's just what I hear.
Wow! Thanks, potatobroth - you just saved me a lot of typing. Well said!
