"It is morally wrong that someone can die from X because they're poor" is a fine point to make. There's nothing wrong with moralizing in that sense, IMHO.
The problem is when you add "And therefore the presence of profit making entities must be the cause". That inserts a moral argument as a substitute for identifying the core problem. I think that's the kind of error you're making here:
>Other countries manage to have universal healthcare and it doesn't break the bank. In fact, they spend less per person.
True, but there are differences other than the universal coverage. The same things that lead, in the US, to bureaucratic bloat and 700% markups on saline, may very well also torpedo those systems!
I think it's a reasonable point for the parent to criticize the kind of moralizing that doesn't attempt a legitimate root cause of why health care spending is so ineffective in the US.
