Isn’t the fact that some people will be unable to afford them (or some other potentially lifesaving product) when they need them a problem that needs to be addressed either way? I feel like we’ll be talking around the problem forever if we ignore the fact that “willingness to pay” is a useful concept economically but probably doesn’t match most people’s moral intuition about who ought to get lifesaving resources.
