I don't expect them to die for it. I expect them to need assistance paying off the debt.Again, I ask why? Why is the work worth more than the lives it saves? If you make medicine too expensive for someone, you are saying that person is not worth saving. Saying, "Just because," isn't an answer. It's a refusal to answer. You talk about compensation, but in the way Martin Shkreli did to justify price gouging. You say people could never repay the debt of their lives in the abstract sense, then expect them to die for it in the literal sense. But you don't ask why we consider that a debt, why are commodifying existence itself. Why is health not a right?
Health isn't a right because we can't give people health. People get sick and die, and nothing is ever going to change that. We do our best to delay that when we can, but we exist in a world of finite time and finite resources, and we're using people's finite time and finite resources to make that happen. Unless you have a pocket dimension of infinite resources you're not telling me about, we dedicate a lot of our finite resources to healthcare, which has a real opportunity cost whether or not you want to put a dollar sign next to it. You can't just shrug off the value of work or the impact of scarcity and say "people should have this as a right".
