>Since only 20 or so people a year are diagnosed with this, the drugs to treat it would have to cost 1.5MM just to be decently profitable... Is that a just healthcare system? If it cost 1 trillion to add a year to the life of just one person, should society pay it, even if that trillion is then not able to be used for lots of other societal needs? Arguing for policy while ignoring opportunity costs leads to more human suffering than would otherwise result.
