You could make arguments of how much “feeding the world’s population” will cost, or how much it will cost to cloth them, or give them shelter, etc — why are they picking on healthcare?
Healthcare creates jobs — doctors, nurses, medications, testing equipment, etc. Healthcare is 1/7th of the US economy. It’s a business.
Healthcare and medicine are businesses. The only reason to whine about it’s cost, is if say government will pay for all of it, i.e., have a single payer socialized medicine. And of course the logical next step is to let people die or kill them, so they don’t use resources.

Yes, govt “solutions” are problematic, fatally so, be it healthcare, energy and more (wind and solar and coal especially).
Healthcare is a corporate and government partnership catastrophe.
Generally unknown is the fact that the term and application of Managed Care was invented in pre-WWII Fascist Italy for the benefit of the industrialized Italian North, dragging in the un-industrialized South with it. We have suffered from the Italian influence combined with notions of marxist, collectivist healthcare and Obamacare has combined it all in a monstrous schematic to be integrated with the DHS, IRS and 157 other executive branch functions within the Fed Res housed and funded Consumer Financial “Protection” Bureau.
