Expensive and/or specialized care is needed regardless of whether the patient can afford it.
As a matter of principle, why should a poor person suffer while a wealthy person gets the expensive/specialized care?
To put it another way: who decides how limited resources such as specialized care are provisioned?
Is it more fair to let the market decide, and allocate those resources to the highest bidder?
Is it more fair to distribute those resources equitably among all who need them, regardless of ability to pay?
