The difference is that we can easily redistribute wealth. It is much more difficult to redistribute "health."
IMO our goal shouldn't be for everyone to be objectively equal in all ways, but rather to be provided enough resources and opportunities to live a good life.
Like on the opposite end of your example, if I was born with a congenital condition, or became injured, I should still be able to live a good life with my needs met and opportunities to do good work. The fact that we don't have that today, due to lack of a social safety net and accessibility, is a problem.
