Healthcare costs are pooled similar to car insurance costs.
The lower the total cost, the less the cost to buy into the system.
Less instance of illness == lower cost.
Lower cost == lower payments & premiums.
If there's 50,000 chemotherapy treatments in a year costing $10,000 each that amounts to roughly $500,000 per year of costs that insurance or a socialist healthcare system must absorb.
If through healthier diet and lifestyle we're able to cut those 50,000 treatments to 25,000 it would cost $250,000 per year. Less cost for health insurance & socialized healthcare to absorb equates to lower premiums / payments.
