People with sufficiently serious diseases will die, period, even if they're the wealthiest people on Earth. I don't see how the inevitability of death caused by disease is a useful argument. If there was some disease that one person had, and that could be cured only by pooling the entire wealth of the Earth, should we forcefully take that wealth to cure that one person?

That would be an interesting hypothetical if anybody sensible had ever suggested anything close to that.
