How would they? Healthcare, largely is preventative. Modern Medicine isn't magic. They can keep you alive but not well - generally.
Now if you're talking about the cost of food, that I'll give you. The problems in America primarily rise from entrenched, institutional, systemic problems. McDonalds can "feed" a family of 5 for about $15. You can't buy a full meal at WholeFoods for that.
To that end, i'd agree with you, but that has nothing to do with Healthcare, and Universal Healthcare isn't going to fix that issue.
