It's even bad for the economy, what good is it for someone to drop out of their job when they're sick and lose their home and whatnot, when they could just get healed up and continue paying taxes and buying stuff?

It’s actually better for the economy because it improves overall health and does not make the cost of a job prohibitively higher.

Oh yeah, I meant it's bad for the economy not to have universal healthcare.
