I don't think that skiing accidents are a good analogy here. It's more like a resort refusing to pay to treat people injured because one of their ski-lifts collapsed.

It is complicated though and without better data, it's difficult to say whether there really is any danger from the implants at all. This could just be a hyped up panic.

The problem is, no one would disagree that a woman whose implant has ruptured should be treated, but should an already over-stretched NHS have to pick up the bill and find operating slots for people who are absolutely fine at the moment? And of course undergoing any operation involves risk from the anaesthetic and possible complications like deep vein thrombosis, so just saying, "The NHS should whip them all out!" isn't the answer either.
