As an Econ major, the answer changes based on what year you’re in. First year students usually read about how patents and profit incentivize creativity. Middle-year students may think GDP will take a hit (although C and G are interchangeable). They’ll also develop the key point that it’s mostly bc hospitals expect insurance to pay, not you.

Seniors/Grads will usually say it’s a bit to do with patents and a bit to do with insurance, but various other issues also play a part of it (public finance is such a good class). However, there’s also so many classes that’ll teach you the positives of government-subsidized programs. Most econ will tend to be fairly progressive, but it’s lumped in with other business majors who just learn about maximizing profit.
