One of the most fundamental characteristics of a liberal order is that both the state and the law follow the principle of personal responsibility and assign to the citizens the responsibility for the consequences of their voluntary decisions. But to rely primarily on the principle of personal responsibility in the health care system holds the danger of attributing the cause of their health problems to the already disadvantaged ("blaming the victim") and of releasing the welfare state from its responsibility to foster social structures that support health-conscious decisions.
自由秩序最基本的特征之一是，国家和法律都遵循个人责任原则，并将公民自愿决策的后果责任赋予他们。但在医疗保健系统中主要依赖个人责任原则，存在将健康问题的原因归咎于已经处于不利地位的人（“责怪受害者”）以及使福利国家免除其培育支持健康意识决策的社会结构的责任的风险。
