It's better, from a capitalist's pov, to sell something to a single person for a grand than it is to sell to a hundred for a dollar. Especially if that keeps misery high.
Imagine prior to Obama Care where an insurance company could deny you for having a preexisting condition.
It was so bad that companies could kick you off of insurance mid-treatment for something like cancer and then deny you for having a pre-existing condition.
Its even still better than if they asked thousands of patients a dollar.
Less overhead.
