I don't mind looking at nearly everything through that lens, even if not exclusively. We probably should think, in general, about differential healthcare outcomes even, and especially, now, for example. What I object to in this case is the smear tactic. "It's just crazy rich white people who are afraid to die." As you say, it's shaming. And, it leads to that other assumption, that this will always only be for rich people. I'm no fan of abject capitalism, but there are rich people who make things cheaper for everybody. Ford didn't own the only automobile, nor Boeing the only airplane. They, and other manufacturers, are interested in bringing costs down in order to get more buyers.
