I don't think it's understood, for some unimaginable reason, that lack of access to health care is a form of oppression, regardless of the reason for the lack of access.
During the founders time, this problem didn't exist. It's a recent development. But it's a basic human need, so when some citizens have abundant access and others have no access, that keeps people down.
Insurance companies are just not designed to really meet this need. Their goal is to make money, not to give access to health care. That's not a political statement, that's just reality. We have people who work hard who cannot afford to go the doctor, who cannot afford chemotherapy or open heart surgery, who cannot afford to catch a minor illness before it becomes a major problem.
Some problems are better solved by government. National defense, national infrastructure, public education, public safety, and public health care. The private sector does better creating restaurants, cool stuff to buy, etc, etc.
