// Having the freedom from health care costs is more freedom for more people than the "freedom" to not pay health insurance or taxes to cover it.
This is not how freedom works. Your argument is akin to saying "freedom from hearing uncomfortable opinions" benefits more people than "freedom of expression" does.
On the broader level, I got to experience healthcare in the US both as a broke-ass immigrant child and as a working adult. It ranged from good to amazing in terms of availability of appointments, treatments, quality and comfort. Night and day beyond what I experienced in the USSR as a kid. So while people are shitting on the system we have, many people find it excellent and amazing and we like the freedom to continue enjoying it.
