Pay a huge amount of money. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, we have an incredibly expensive healthcare system, a legal system where deeper pockets have a large advantage, and a housing crisis.
All I need to make a website is to know how to do it. To build a house I need to comply with an endless list of regulations that are essentially intended to make me unable to do so. To buy an asthma inhaler (insert medicine here) I must pay a doctor to write me a prescription. It doesn't matter whether I know what I need and how much. I must pay for it. Lawyering I can do on my own for myself though.
Edit: I'm not saying that all of this is necessarily bad, but I just couldn't resist when you mentioned those 3. They're not great examples, because the ethics there are about protecting the person receiving the service. In software development you rarely build something for a specific human individual.
