It does reduce a source of friction in the economy, people aren't going to stick with crappy underperforming companies just because they have health care.
Social health insurance is a larger risk pool, and if managed correctly should be a lower cost overall; something which is borne out by the UNHCF numbers.

By supporting private health insurance you are essentially supporting a barrier to entry in all industries...
