There's no comparison.
This. If someone came to you and said, you'll die next year unless you pay me $200k, every single person will pay that sum. Oh wait, sorry, it's $400,000 now. Not a single person would turn that down. Even if there were infinite supply, the health care industry can charge whatever it wants because life has no monetary value and there is no price someone wouldn't pay to continue to live. That's not right.
