From the article,
Klein says that part of the problem might be that a modest amount of sickness has traditionally been a money-maker for cruise companies. "There's a revenue stream that comes from illness, not just the cost stream," he explains. On-board health care isn't free. "U.S. physician prices, you know? I mean, $150 for an office visit. And if you need drugs, you've got to pay too … The doctor gets a commission, and the ship makes money, and everybody's happy. Except for the passenger who doesn't have insurance."
