No, for catastrophic things there are charities.
There are over 5,000 heart transplants performed in the U.S. annually. At an initial cost (not counting lifelong immunosuppressive medications) of $1 million per, that's $5 billion.
List the charities that can dole out $5 billion every year.
And that's just cardiac transplantation. What about the funding for liver transplants, kidney transplants, skin grafts? Cancer treatments, MIs, neurosurgery, etc.? Where do those billions come from?
What about chronic degenerative disorders like Parkinson's, RA, MS, etc., etc.?
Tell the class what magical treasure trove that money would come from on your planet.
The country is already broke has been for decades, we can't spend what we don't have. Can't get blood out of turnips.
Mythology and a poor attempt at deflection.
But you've admitted you refuse to take care of your own and you'd sponge off a charity if necessary.
So let's try this again:
