I will agree that the system is flawed in that palliative care is still given despite self infliction (often cumulative ), and that perhaps people should pay out their own pocket.
But I think the duty of card at POC is a fundamental ethical and moral aspect of an enlightened human society that needs to be maintained. The cost might be high, and indeed we as a society need to do everything within reason to limit the impact, but I would never want it to be erased.
