Right now, in the U.S., I'd settle for guaranteed basic/effective health care.
If you aren't going to outright kill people, and if you expect them to "bootstrap" and move on to the next job, you should put some effort into making sure they are healthy enough to do so.
Not to mention basic morality.
Nor that problems treated early are smaller and cost less. And that society pays that cost, whether through cost spreading by private healthcare (hospital critical care -- the last line of defense); Medicaid and government programs; or prison.
Unless you really are going to just bury them, and spring for a pauper's grave.
Sounds rhetorical? Look at Jeff Sessions' latest mandate to prosecutors: 'Lock them up! For as long as possible!'

Look at the widening gaps in longevity.
