I think the problem is, it's insurance. I pay $1200/month for my ACA insurance as I am a freelancer. Those with full time jobs pay a similar amount, just indirectly. In a given year, if I am healthy and need minimal medical care, then my insurance puts me way behind financially. If I have a sudden medical emergency, it can really save me. That is of course, assuming the insurance company will honor their end of the bargain which is another matter altogether. I don't want health insurance. I want health care.
