Should candidates be able to use funds to pay for healthcare?

Citing a recent ruling from the FEC that allows candidates to use funds to pay for childcare since the childcare is necessary because of the election, she is going to ask the FEC to allow her to purchase health care during the campaign using those funds, suggesting that she cannot maintain a job that provides healthcare because of running.

Her position is that allowing this will make it easier for working and middle class candidates to run for office.

Thoughts?

As with anything, if there is oversight to keep this from getting out of hand I don't see what harm comes from it.

Does speak to how expensive healthcare is.
