How it already works is this: The government doesn't do anything to increase the amount of health care(or not much). The government just buys healthcare for people in the private market. The government just increases demand. Now this increase in demand might lead to higher wages and such for doctors....thereby creating an incentive for people to become doctors to fulfill that demand....but the government stifles that effect by imposing arbitrarily low prices for government paid healthcare. This government intervention causes an increase in demand but hinders an increase in supply.
To answer your question....I think voters vote for candidates who support issues that are important to them. Pro-life is very important to me. I would vote for a pro life communist over a pro abortion capitalist.
