Of course the government has so decreed!  Who else pays the ICU bill if
you don't have enough insurance?  Who pays the cop who investigates the
accident?  Who often pays the ambulance and fire clean-up crews?  First,
your insurance (i.e., some of the rest oUS)S) and second, the government
(ALL the REST OF US).

THAT IS SCARY.  The beltless morons have a huge claim on my pocketbook!
