This is just a dog whistles and by that I mean it is a cheering point at rallies, but has nothing to do with helping the situation.

No serious candidates are believe that some how they can wave a magic piece of legislation and magical fairies will show up and make everyone healthy.

Everything costs, what we are trying to do is to find a way to have healthy citizens that we can afford.

Universal health care proposals take into account cost/benefit analysis and show that by improving everyones health society (all of us) will on a average pay less.

Obviously no system is perfect, but constantly pointing out obvious failing of some systems doesn't help find a system that will work.
