1. Bicyclists don't generally give themselves head wounds, someone else is almost always at fault.
2. Healthcare system is a bit of a joke/scam. They will charge millions for an operation but turn around and charge 50k for it to an insurance company. The problem here is 100% bad government not keeping things in control, not something inherent to healthcare. Government refusing to pay ludicrous prices for healthcare or allow them to charge them to uninsured people is a necessary first step to ever get rid of ludicrous pricing.
