"It literally saved my life" is an argument that could justify anything you want it to, no matter how bad it actually is. It'd be a little like saying nobody should ever leave their house because you never left your house and avoided any number of catastrophes that could have killed you. If preventing people from dying is the only metric by which a health care system is judged then pretty much anything can be justified at the detriment of other less tangible benefits, like insanely high prices, non-coverage of therapies used to treat non-life threatening conditions, no provisions for birth control, etc. Health care isn't simply about keeping people alive - it's about helping them live a high quality of life.
