Or perhaps you think living toothless on scraps and the cheapest food until an early death is not the same as consigning the weak and indigent to death? You are right. It is worse than death to be treated this way - as it creates lives of terrible prolonged suffering on purpose, as if righting some moral wrong for the crime of being born poor or lame or old or without talent.
Pure capitalism deliberately excuses and encourages harming significant percentages of the population through neglect and deliberate impoverishment.
People, read human history. Capitalism and money commerce are not historical or cultural universals - they are relatively new inventions. Don't listen to their excuses about human society grinding to a halt without capitalist wealth inequality and greed.
Creators will invent, the healthy will work hard, doctors will heal and teachers will teach, with or without some gigantic monetary carrot-and-stick system.
