Short answer: kind of
Long answer: provided the care is good enough and comprehensive enough, people will use it as you can fund it through taxes. You guys already have Medicare and Medicaid (although I don't know how they differ), so similar schemes of subsidies would work well. It's what we have here (and I think what Canada, the UK, and Australia use too) and even the hardcore conservatives tend to think of it as a necessary evil rather than from the eugenicist point of view Americans seem hellbent on using.
