    I'm no expert, but i suppose because it reduces the flow of money - fewer transactions (people not getting healthcare, not billing insurance, insurance not paying for healthcare given to people because they're not getting any healthcare) = reduced total domestic product. Whether it's reduced by a measurable amount is another question.
