Oh.
You mean it's not fair?
There are two players in the NBA, both shorter than most of the women I ever dated, literally one inch shorter than the average male height in America.
And yet despite being in a sport which is dominated by men who, on average, are eleven inches taller than either of them, they both have found success.
Life, like the NBA ...[text shortened]... less the level of their own commitment thereof.
You won't agree, I am sure, but such is life.
In fifty words or less answer this question: It is morally just that one eight year old with leukemia shouldn't get treatment because their parents only have x income while eight year old B should get treatment because their parents have x+ income because ...............................
An answer "such is life" is plainly insufficient. Life in this case is what the People make it. Life in most of the "advanced" world says both eight year olds get treatment.

Fix the system.
If that doesn't solve the problem, no amount of money we throw at it will.
Don't subsidize sub-par products and services.
