You don't have socialized health care, so your society is under no compulsion beyond human compassion to try to stuff your brains back into your skull when you go splat. You buy your health insurance, and you take your chances. If a society has to pay to fix you up as part of it's social charter with it's citizens, then it also has a right to tell you to wear appropriate protective gear.
