Healthcare spending is almost as unequal as wealth, with a tiny minority consuming most of the resources [0]. Don't have data for this, but I see no reason not to assume a similar distribution applies to groups like cancer sufferers. That is - those most likely to die account for most of the cancer spending, while those with good outcomes account for relatively little. If you set a per person spending cap, you could expect a great reduction in per capita spending without much impact on aggregate outcomes (perhaps even an improvement). Which is exactly what public healthcare systems effectively do by strict rationing and discouraging private spending.
