Either way... The evidence says that universal healthcare is cheaper... And provides higher quality care, It's blatantly that simple, there isn't even a debate to be had on this point anymore unless you are living in blatant ignorance.
As for Minimum wage... If someone works flipping burgers and earns $19 an hour, then someone who works in say... Carpentry are going to be earning even more than that as they are viewed as a more valuable worker.
And considering that there are 10's of millions of Americans on minimum wage... If they got a big minimum wage increase, then spending will increase across the low-income earners... Meaning more economic activity, companies profit, government gets taxes... And so on.
Higher minimum wages also means that people can get out of poverty, afford to further their education, gives them more opportunities in life and become successful...
A stagnant minimum wage means that over time people actually earn less... As a dollar actually ends up depreciating in value over time... Which isn't actually a good thing... No one should need 4-5 jobs to make ends meet, that's not a good thing.
