Yes, vet care prices are often something that separates people from their pets... I'm lucky enough to live in a country where veterinary clinics work for affordable prices for most of the population, but that can still hurt people with limited income. We work with the local veterinary medicine school in order to provide cheaper healthcare for pets (they're inspected and cared for by students of vet universities instead of "actual" vets), but that's a stop-gap measure, and not an actual solution.
Still, I think that the actual solution would require deep social changes that are far out of reach for us pet care professionals...
