In theory, it seems plausible that the additional cost of more medical care was more than offset by the economic value of letting people switch jobs more easily, thus spending more time doing things they are better suited to. As well as the economic value of saving the lives/careers of people who go on to contribute to society in excess of the cost of their treatment. I'm not saying I've seen a study proving that helping sick people is a net positive for society, in dollars and cents, but it should at least be considered...?
