I think it's abundantly clear that in a purely capitalist society, it is in the government's and its oligarchs' best interests to keep the citizens sick. Not terminally ill or seriously sick, because then they couldn't work. Just enough to keep them miserable but healthy enough to go to work.

That’s what they meant by innovation. Innovative ways to increase profits at any and all costs, including human life and human suffering.
Louisettes are too kind a solution for capitalists in health care.
