We should not. It should be provided unconditionally to anyone needing it. Homo sapiens can do better than letting its pairs who can't pay die (slowly).

And care givers should be very well paid because they have hard jobs and critically important ones.

Making illness profitable creates bad incentives.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in many/most countries including the US, hospitals legally will treat emergency patients regardless of whether they can pay or are homeless-levels of broke.
