Reason: None provided.

The only reason you think the people you listed don't deserve healthcare over another is because of the inherent corruption in our system. We don't promote a moral national capitalist system and instead promote an immoral international capitalist system so those who climb within the system are often not virtuous people. However, there are many that do climb who are virtuous and just because you don't have money doesn't mean you are virtuous. Many who lack resources in our society do in fact lack value. Overall, our system would be better if we only have healthcare to those who could afford it. We should also make strides towards promoting a more moral nationalist capitalist system so that men like Biden or Zuckerberg aren't able to exploit the system through immoral means to gain resources. That's a separate issue though and shouldn't be conflated.

If all you are to this society is a worker at McDonalds without a strong family who has proven their worth to this society and you get sick with $10,000,000 worth of healthcare, if you cannot plead your case to another rich person willing to volunteer their funds away to pay for your care, then yes, you should die. The strain on our society by diverting resources toward people who contribute very little to keep them alive for the sake of keeping them alive is immense and doesn't actually produce a better society in the end. Every one is going to die. Keeping people alive as long as possible for the sake of doing isn't productive at all nor is it even a good thing. We could be better diverting our resources to other ventures that are better for society.

Now, there are other issues. I get that. Why can drug companies have patents on drugs in the manner in which they do for the length of that that they do. Are IP laws even a good thing? Those are questions we can ask and perhaps make changes to. I will admit that our system is far from perfect but just because the system is imperfect doesn't mean we must promote socialism in healthcare because such a system is also far from the ideal. We should be instead making grounds toward better systems which means tweaking things like IP law and enforcing morality upon society to ensure those who get ahead do so for the right reasons and not for the sake of profit-seeking over exploiting others and promoting moral degeneracy or other ventures that are overall net negatives to the culture of our society.

Ideally speaking, if we have a perfect meritocracy grounded in good solid objective morals then those who can't afford healthcare do in fact deserve to die because only those who can pay for the healthcare themselves or solicit the help of their social networks have contributed enough to society to make keeping them alive worthwhile and in society's interest. This is true equity and justice. Keeping people alive for the sake of keeping people alive is unjust because you are wasting the resources of society as a whole against that society's will to promote a value that by no means is actually a good one. You're throwing valuable resources at a dead end (literally).

There are certain considerations when talking healthcare. What is ideal isn't necessarily attainable given certain realities. The most practical solution to healthcare is to have a bare minimum healthcare that is socialized. Something like that is not too strenuous on resources. You break your arm, you get patched up. You catch an STI, you get some antibiotics. However, all healthcare beyond this should be privatized. You want cutting edge treatment for some rare disease only 3 people in the country also have, then you pay out of pocket.
