It is simple, calculating, and heartless.

When there is a fixed amount of X available, a fair division of X across Y people gives everyone X / Y.

When you need more than X / Y, you are screwed (ask anyone in england who's needed cataract surgery on their second eye and was told that QoL improvement was not there, like it was for the first, so GTFO)

Since I can afford to buy a lot more than X / Y of healthcare for me and my family, should it be needed, the outcome for that limited and, to be honest, complete set of people whose well-being i care about is better in the current system.
