If you're wealthy maybe you're also savvy enough to deal with the system. When a few second opinions with doctor friends are only a phone call away it's not hard to imagine better outcomes better. I recall an article on HN where a dev quit his job to do cancer research when he was diagnosed, and spent the next year getting to top 1% level in cancer analysis for his subtype. That's disposable income in action.

Fatal opioid use is less common with wealthy folks, and great diet + exercise + friends (easier if you're rich) are all good prevention mechanisms against antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Going further, many wealthy people hire services (either part of their concierge medicine practice or a la carte) which helps them navigate the system, evaluate doctors, get appointments at the best medical practices, avoid bad doctors, evaluate the gestalt of the recommendations across all doctors, fight incorrect insurance copay/co-insurace bills, etc.
