Supporting people staying healthy, preventing diseases is a whole lot cheaper eventually. The idea behind universal health care is that you don't want to be overly stringent because it comes back to you down the line with vengeance. In my country for example you are recommended to visit the dentist at least once a year because prevention is important, and society can't exactly function well with people having bad teeth. Equal chances and all that, but also to avoid the cost down the line. In the United States however nobody cares, there isn't even a society, just a bunch of different classes living very different lives. If you can't afford good teeth you don't matter. You are not good enough. Problem solved. Good luck making it with your bad teeth. That's your problem, why should I pay for it. It's funny when people who call themselves Christians say this when Christianity is about realizing the eventual spiraling cost of not landing a hand to people, although this practicality evolved into morals over the ages. In the United States however there is a deep cultural problem, a lack of practical morality if you will, and that's not going to be easily solved.
