I read yieldrcv as saying that people not dying is good on its own merit, so we don't need an economic argument. The survival instinct is enough justification on its own.

We may not need to contrive some reason why saving lives will actually save us money, and therefore saving lives is good.

If you need an economic reason to save lives, you will have to do incredible gymnastics to justify medical treatment for old people, for instance.

So don't do the acrobatics. We can just say that medicine is good, actually.
