So the vid in rando thread about the guy who's daughter died of cancer got me thinking.

Let's say a 5 yr old kid has leukemia and it's parents are poor. Society has several options for it's care.

1. We pay for everything it needs to give it the best chance of survival.
2. We give it a bit of care but not as much as we would a rich kid.
3. We give it some care and bankrupt the parents.
4. We say tough shit kiddy, you ain't getting Jack.

It seems to me that capitalism favours 3 and 4 where as alternative set ups may favour 1 and 2.
