The more disturbing part is, it would be less expensive if they all died.

How is that disturbing? It takes far fewer hours of labor to deal with a death than to provide lifelong healthcare.
Because it creates a potential financial incentive to make sure they die.
The same incentive is there even if money did not exist. Providing services to someone (who is likely to be unable provide equivalent value in return) is more costly than not providing them. That is simply reality/math?
