In case it was unclear, I was being sarcastic in my reply and pointing out the hypocrisy of being offended that "regular people" would have to foot the bill for ICUs - as if they weren't the ones relying on their existence.
I am not offended that regular people would foot the bill for ICUs if state decides to pay for those. My point is that I do not see why it would be an improvement in any way over the status quo. It will not make them cheaper or more available, most likely quite the opposite.
