Healthcare, and many other social goods that help people stay alive and be productive, are important in today's society.

Back in 1900, it wasn't so much of a big deal if several offspring died, were maimed or otherwise rendered useless, because families had so many children. However, once a society is around or below replacement rate, people become a more precious resource that can't be so casually wasted. I suspect that's why so many of the economic and political elites want the public to have a lot more babies: it gives them many more options to save money letting them die or getting them killed. Capitalists only love scarcity when they can control it as a means to jack up their prices.
