What are you thinking of as preventative healthcare?
If you mean people who couldn't afford a doctor visit at all, there was already Medi-Cal and similar.
If you mean people making $30 k to $60 k pet year, average Americans, then coming up with $50 to $150 for a doctor visit is totally within their means.
Take the $5 k to $15 k a family would spend yearly on insurance and spend it on better food and a gym membership and everyone wins with real preventative care.
