Not the same thing IMO. There’s a lot of gouging and unnecessary costs in the health care business.
If everyone had insurance, the idea is that the large insurance companies and/or government can drive down costs by forcing the industry’s hands. The idea is to cap the growth of health care costs as a proportion of GPD so that resources can be more efficiently allocated to other areas of the economy.

When I lived back east, I used to have an Irish Wolfhound. Even though he was as gentle as could be, I never worried about anyone burglarizing my place. Also, when you’re out and about they are great protection. One time I went to visit a friend who lived in a rough section of Philidelpia. Walking my wolfhound, you’d be amazed how many “Tough looking dudes” change to the other side of the street to avoid you.
Now, admittedly a 160 lb dog isn’t everyone’s idea of an alarm system, but seems to me it has some real big advantages over ADT. And probably even works better than those smith and wessons that so many on this board like.
