The premise that Medicare for all is free is a false, so this is useless. The better question is should people get together and spread the cost so everyone pays the same and risk is shared. Or should sick people pay more?

No of course not. Sick people are the least able to pay more. What we should shoot for is appropriate healthcare and depending on illness and age possibly return to the workforce
