That's one reason why privatised health is rubbish. "profitable" treatments should be used, in part, to subsidise the cost of unprofitable ones.

No medical system, public or private, has infinite money.

There will always be decisions made about which conditions get research and which don't. It's unlikely that a disease this rare would be prioritized by a purely government run system, either. There are too many more common diseases to address first.

It's a little bit the opposite. Private groups are focused on profits but there are gov programs to support the rare disease research that would otherwise go unfunded in a pure market system.

I mean sure, nothing has infinite money...but better to redirect some profits to other treatments, than to extract them all for shareholders?
