The goal should be to provide every human being with the best care possible. If a system can't handle that, then we need to assess why and make changes.

Show me a country where that's the goal. Every other developed country has a goal that's something like: "provide the best outcomes for the population as a whole, at a cost the public is willing to pay."
We should make it the goal as a species. We have the resources and technology. We decide to be limited by economics.
No, economics is just how we describe resource limits and tradeoffs in a methodical way.
