It doesn't matter how authoritatively you state it, but wanting it not to matter is not the same as it not applying. It still applies modulo some distortion by "egalitarian healthcare". Every time you have a cold or whatever is a moment you are statistically less likely to reproduce. When a potential mate approaches you but sneezes all over itself, it has an influence on your attraction towards this mate. If only things were so simple as state them in a voice of authority...

Is it in the interest of the group, and of future children that they inherit deficiencies at higher rates simply because we apply healthcare?

What exactly is "civilized" about our healthcare behavior?
