They could always use the increased GDP and tax revenue from that with the millions of Americans who cannot get health care now becoming more productive citizens.

Seems unlikely.

The US is already the most productive country in the world... if anything it may end up decreasing productivity.

How so? The productivity figure is an average of the total productivity in the entire population. Increasing the average would increase the total.
