This seems like fitting the facts to support a narrative. I don't see how having tax-payer funded healthcare would have helped us. There are numerous countries that do have tax-payer funded healthcare that are in the exact same situation as the US. The fact of the matter is there's nothing preventative that can be done for this virus, so wider access to healthcare should not be expected to change anything.
