If medicine floated with the cost of supply and demand, then outbreaks and epidemics would be an ethical nightmare and a commercial blessing. Medical supplies during epidemics always fail to match the huge spike in demand, so the price would rise exponentially. Medication providers would make a fortune while only the rich would receive medication. Depending how much you want to bend toward conspiracy theories, it would almost be like incentivizing medication providers to cause huge outbreaks.
