Nobody gives a shit, in a sense that if somebody goes ER it's just better to do nothing on governmental level, than try to address the problem, because the damage to system is extremely low. For example 10 deaths a week is much cheaper solution to a problem, rather than trying to fix the problem, which is going to end up being extremely expensive. Also the very important thing is perception of the problem itself, which might make it completely impossible to address and fix.
Now in the long run, the problem might become very big and the damages might become unfathomable, but it'd be a political suicide to try to fix thing like this now, because politics are oriented only short term and not long term.
The awareness point would still happen regardless of ER, the difference would be just the speed of the growth, now whether it'd be a positive impact or not is up to debate tbh.
Simply the problem is that ER takes so few "innocent lives" that nobody is going to go up in arms fixing that. Now societal decay is another question entirely.
I hope this makes it clearer.
