My position has always been that many of them DO care. But they don't care in the same way that YOU do.
Power corrupts and all that, but the cruel version of that is the easy one. There's also the "small crimes" version, where when confronted with hard choices, each time you make one it makes it easier to do something a bit worse.
Monster you be lest the monster you become.
So you're in charge of health. You WILL watch people die, you WILL make choices that kill people. And if you don't have a strong moral foundation to begin with (and you don't. Less than 5% of humanity does) you become comfortable visiting unnecessary cruelty on people based either on the absolute coldest blood math at best, and to make your job easier at worse. What's one more?
