The OP is claiming the country should re-align its priorities to optimize this health-insured number, not claiming the gov does not already track this number.

They absolutely claimed the latter.
But even to the first, they didn't make any policy claims! They said it "would clearly show how poorly the economy is actually functioning." That's not true! You can have a fabulous economy (with a well-performing "GDP or...stock market") with terrible healthcare KPIs, this is basically a petrostate.
Healthcare is measured. And it's discussed. One can debate how the total-insured figure should play into policy. That wasn't that comment.
