an interesting debate on boats vs healthcare

although many different arguments and lots of scenarios can provide different outcomes, I don't understand why this is such a big deal. I figure most of us on this forum are fiscally responsible and probably in pretty good jobs as we have disposable money for a boat and all the expenses that go along with it. I think the assumption could also be made that most of us have health care either thru work or for those self-employed, thru an insurer. if the intent is to make sure everyone in the us has insurance and as a side effect ends up lowering costs of treatment due to hospitals no longer charging off bad debt, is this not a good thing?
