As a result, more resources would be allocated for the problems in more wealthy nations (ie. cancer), while problems in poorer regions would be neglected (ie. maleria). The same problem would exist even within a nation through existing class divisions.
While this schism already exists today, an increase of for-profit aid organizations/charities will probably exacerbate this divide.
In the end, this discussion opens a whole host of ethical issues and philosophical questions. Life is rarely simple.
