On: Your heart attack bill: $3,300 in Arkansas, $92,000 in California

I hope you're not trying to imply that it is unacceptable to let poor people die of treatable diseases. Spending 1 million in other people's money to save one life when that money could also save 1 thousand lives elsewhere (givewell cost per life calculations) is morally inexcusable.

No, I'm implying that society in general appears to find this to be unacceptable. Whether or not you or I agree with that is basically irrelevant.
