If you look at economical entities in terms of evolution, then I think things look more clear. If the system doesn't allow for natural selection, then eventually you'll end up with the equivalent of in-breeding: companies which are grossly maladapted to the environment, and which can only be kept alive so long as others will keep pumping resources into the system.
In the short run, antibiotics and expensive treatments save lives-- kids' lives, especially, and it is impossible for us to say no to that. However, I'm pretty sure that the overall quality of the human gene pool is currently dropping. Eventually, there will be a bursting of that bubble: the environment will introduce a pressure so strong that all the good intentions in the world won't allow the weak to survive, and the species will go through a very painful period of correction.
All of that, just take out "kids" and put in "companies," and I think that's a pretty straight view of how we should view capitalism.
