Would a happy healthy and productive population would increase the GDP? Seems like universal healthcare would be a "no brainer" from the government's position.

Would a happy healthy and productive population would increase the GDP? Seems like universal healthcare would be a "no brainer" from the government's position. And in countries that do have socialized healthcare, there is definitely pressure on different arms of the government to suppress anything that increases burden on the healthcare system. Insane taxes on cigarettes and alcohol for example.
