At least in the US:

    * Health-care is a cost center.
    * Denying Health-care is a profit center.
    * The populace has been conned in to believing it's an "insurance"
    * vvv
The population also mostly doesn't realize, at a logical level, that those without coverage still factor in to costs.

    * Increased suffering
    * Increased crime
    * Decreased GDP (both from less able workers and more broken windows)
    * Actual costs of care are passed along as inflated prices.
I would really like, and as long as there weren't other blockers would vote, for candidates that supported at least /basic/ healthcare for all. Profits to be had in line cutting during non-triage critical moments.
