On the subject of shared costs/benefits: The wealth that allows us modern healthcare is not so much the wealth we are producing today, but overwhelmingly more the wealth that the countless generations before us have created. That one person should benefit disproportionately from this wealth, just because by some narrow financial measure their small contribution is slightly less small than another's, is surely against natural justice. Healthcare is our birthright, part of the Universal Basic Stake that we each inherit simply by being born.
