Interesting point, though would you agree that an individuals budget for healthcare is unique? The budget for healthy vs not, tends to be 'all of it.' Hence, excessive healthcare costs.

Exactly. And the relationship seems to be that if your income goes up 1%, your available wealth at a point in crisis goes up 2.8%.

However your willingness to spend at the moment of crisis is dictated by your problem and available wealth. And now how that money is going to be split among different parties.
