The thing is that they’ve lost the plot. Yes it’s good to have everyone healthy so they can contribute to society and keep the economy healthy. But the point of growing the economy should be to make the country better for the people. It should feed back to better quality of life, more opportunities, better education, new useful and fun technology. The goal shouldn’t be to grow the economy just so the billionaires get richer.
I don’t doubt that Dr. Oz has evil underlying motives. But that isn’t the argument that he’s made in the quote we’re talking about.
Small businesses also have workplaces and also contribute value to the GDP, and meanwhile, large businesses are often holding back our GDP by intertwining themselves with the government so that they don’t actually have to compete. They love that people get their healthcare through their businesses today because that makes them closer to slaves.
A person who actually has an underlying moral view that would make them make Dr. Oz’s argument would be beneficial to work with to get true public single-payer universal healthcare. (I just looked it up, and Dr. Oz has only supported a private sort of UHC, which is not completely in line with the quote we’re looking at, to no surprise.)

Same reason they love H1Bs. Listen to me or leave the country.
I don’t think they’ve lost the plot. They’re just the flesh puppets for a superorganism whose plot is orthogonal to human values
