Most democrats, it does bother. That's why most democrats are pro health care for all - they are empathetic and can actually see the economic benefits of having a national healthcare system. A healthier country means a more productive country; a healthier country means a richer country ? both economically as well as morally. Sure, you won?t see the economic benefit overnight. It will take a few decades for preventive medication to take effect but after a few decades of a universal healthcare system, the USA would benefit greatly.
