An analog from education and affirmative action: the arguments that ultimately got it through the Supreme Court was that diversity helps white students with additional perspectives. There was a social justice argument, but the courts didn't care.
I bring this up because there are people for whom these soulless arguments work, and sometimes that's an ok stop-gap as my example allowed thousands of people into education. If it gets people healthcare, some would argue it should be included in the list of reasons.
I'm not exactly in that group who buys that, but I admit I don't know what will ultimately get Americans their right to healthcare.
