Let's look at what I think it should be based upon the logic of what you say it should be for vaccines:
1) All homosexual sex is optional.
2) If you opt out of NOT having homosexual sex, you are responsible for the FULL health care costs of treatment. No insurance help. No government help. You're on your own.
3) If you opt out of restraining yourself from having homosexual sex, and it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt as your homosexual sex being the transmission vector that caused another person to contract HIV because they were too young/unhealthy/at risk to be able to fight off HIV, you are responsible for the FULL health care costs of their treatment. You have to go into bankruptcy and have assets liquidated before the government or insurance covers any unfulfilled costs.
Does that sum up the "libertarian" view of homosexual sex and HIV transmission?
My view on all STDs, regardless of sexual orientation or any other factors, is that they should not be covered with exception of the following circumstances:
- Failure of a safe sex device which was reported to a licensed medical practitioner within the next two business days. No getting it and them coming back a month later when you realize you got it and going "doh golly musta broke".
- Rape
- Incest
- Case involving a pregnancy
- Case involving pass through to a fetus through whatever means, and the ongoing care after that fetus is born.
That would go hand in hand with making safe sex products easily attainable and cheap ... and making FULL STD workups (a lot don't even include herpes or hepatitis!) easily attainable and cheap. I'm talking about your local pharmacist being able to take the blood work and send it off.
Let's not get ridiculous here. Slippery slope. My son caught a nasty stomach virus that hit right in the middle of a basketball game amid 8,500 people. Among the attended were infants and elderly. Using some of your logic, I should be held responsible for everyone that got sick... or maybe he picked it up from school and someone else should be liable. There was a popular saying in the 60's that I really think we need to get back to as a society: sh*t happens. When do we get to the point that we ban events with large crowds or require all attendees to go through a government mandated health and virus detection screening at the door before entering.

Public health does not lend itself to libertarian schemes very well. And the interest of the kids need to be accounted for, outside of the parents issues.

Public health does not truly lend itself to socialist ideas either. Not if you are talking about actually improving health. The best systems for getting results are the Bismarcks, which don't work like Obamacare at all.

Why shouldn't the people involved be responsible themselves to pay the FULL cost of healthcare for the baby if it has HIV, until they go broke, if one/both knew they had HIV prior to having sex? On the other hand, what if they create a healthy fetus and they decide to abort it-- who pays for the abortion? Who pays for the woman's psychiatric care later in life when she regrets having the abortion? What if the abortion causes her to become sterile in the future and she wants to adopt kids? Should health insurance pay for the cost of that, or the guy she had sex with who got her pregnant when she aborted her baby?
And if I understand you right, you're saying a guy who gives a woman the Human Papilloma virus should be made to go bankrupt paying her bills (if he can't pay them all before then), if she gets cervical cancer?
Because the baby is a third party to the irresponsible act. I'm pretty sure the baby wasn't lobbying for disease.
I would not include HPV in the STD list. The link between it and cervical cancer isn't cemented in a brick wall of science. There is evidence, but not overwhelmingly so. And the HPV vaccine has caused fatal reactions ... so I'm no fan of it.

We were talking about STDs and vaccines here. I'm not advocating for liability costs for common airborne illnesses. It is wildly impractical (really impossible).

Except I'm not.
I'm just saying negligence law should apply to these people who refuse to vaccinate. I explained what limits all of this earlier.

Which baby? The one who got HIV, or the one who was aborted?
BTW, whichever baby it is, I really don't understand what question you're trying to answer. I asked why shouldn't the people who do bad things to babies, cover the costs, and you said, because the baby is a third party?
