I doubt that's the best we can do. People save peoples lives without payment with fair regularity. The argument has always been that profit motivates....and that's fine, I suppose..but when profit is only motivating the pursuit of further profit, rather than the delivery of life saving services or products... or even innovation....it's lost it's justification.
And remember, the context of failure in life, for these businesses..is that people die. The purpose of a for profit hospital or medication, despite all of the bullshit they put in the pamplets, is not to save life, it's to generate money. So people die even when these businesses succeed.
Now, we have laws against people profiting by buying and selling people, but apparently so long as you merely hold their life hostage rather than outright declare ownership of it, that's a-okay.
