That's an interesting question. Many times with [for-profit] insurance, your own negligence or illegal acts are not eligible to receive benefits. It's because of an incentive problem, which begs the question if social insurance programs should really be any different.
Is compassion without limits? Should someone that made a poor choice drain benefits from a limited pool for people who had no choice? SDI benefits? I'd say no. Handicapped parking? Sure.
