I don't know how things work where you are, but I tend to reason based on the context and environment I know.

Over here, we have a universal social security. While imperfect, incredibly bureaucratic, and hard to navigate at times, it ensures everyone can get access to most if not all medical care, for free for those who are in extremely precarious financial situations.

But that is a political and social choice that was made in this country decades ago, and it is true it is not the same in many other places.

Now, I want to believe this isn't what you meant, but another way to read your response could be "It'll take too long and it's too hard, too expensive, to help poor people out of their pain. We should instead let them put themselves out of their misery"
