Universal healthcare & tax on unhealthy choices seems more logical than AHCA.
That with tax on unhealthy products you pay for the choices you make. While with AHCA you can have to pay more or being denied healthcare because things you can’t control. Like for example your genes or that you have been victim of a crime like rape or domestic violence.

Also, higher cost on unhealthy products will not stop you from better yourself and getting a job. While without health care you can be to sick to work.
Taxes on unhealthy choices will not either stop you from getting a new job or start your own business. While AHCA risk make it harder to switch planes if you get a new job or start your own business and have pre existing condition.
Also, paying more for unhealthy products will probably not have a massive negative effect on your quality of life. While without healthcare you can suffer or in worst case die.
If you pay more for unhealthy products you can direct see the consequences of your actions. While it can be harder to consider that the unhealthy product you buy today will lead to that you 20 year later will get much higher healthcare cost or denied health care.
