Let's assume you're right and this leads to a price increase. Is it better to let the price increase or deny people medical care? I would argue the price increase is the better, more humane choice. From that perspective, the *real* problem is that people need insurance to be able to afford medical care in the first place. A humane system would not restrict medical access based on income. In my experience, the less you get paid, the *harder* you're expected to work.
As we saw in the pandemic, outside of the medical field, it seemed that a majority of people forced to continue working were the low paid, hard working workers, so there's real world evidence that regardless of how much or how little the capitalist class values them as individuals, the work they do is critical for the functioning of society and the economy, so I don't see any justifiable reason to deny them medical care.
