I'm a huge fan of the Artificer Initiate feat, as it allows for the Artificer spell to be cast with ordinary spell slots. I would houserule that this feature also exists in the Magic Initiate feat. So our ranger could be Magic initiate (druid) at pick up cure wounds for instance.
If none of you have access to healing magic, there will be increased access to healing potions. Make the characters you want to play, not what the optimal group composition should be.
Artificer Initiate
You've learned some of an artificer's inventiveness:
You learn one cantrip of your choice from the artificer spell list, and you learn one 1st-level spell of your choice from that list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
You can cast this feat's 1st-level spell without a spell slot, and you must finish a long rest before you can cast it in this way again. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have.
You gain proficiency with one type of artisan's tools of your choice, and you can use that type of tool as a spellcasting focus for any spell you cast that uses Intelligence as its spellcasting ability.

Magic Initiate
Choose a class: bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard. You learn two cantrips of your choice from that class's spell list.
In addition, choose one 1st-level spell from that same list. You learn that spell and can cast it at its lowest level. Once you cast it, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it again using this feat.
You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have.
Your spellcasting ability for these spells depends on the class you chose: Charisma for bard, sorcerer, or warlock; Wisdom for cleric or druid; or Intelligence for wizard.
