Hard reality: a thing is worth exactly what another is willing to pay for it.
How about putting a gun to the doctors forehead and demanding free treatment for my loved one? Oh wait, there is a state and there are laws, we're not exactly a Wild, Wild West. Some laws regulate certain things, medical care can be one of them
Pretty much. People too easily forget that the most basic human freedoms are not life and property. Those are creatures of law. The most basic human freedoms are the innate right of every animal to kill what it can and take what it wants.
Change that to "... the innate right of every animal to try to kill what it can and take what it wants" and you're spot on. And that of course is a big advantage of law (and custom): We don't get into these contests of brute force quite so much.
