Well, as far as I can tell Argonian's Life Mender passive is based on healing set bonus, but the thing is that it is based on the "old" gear set healing bonus.Whenever this race topic gets brought up, I always link a discussion I posted about this the first time they re-did racial skills:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/560656/definitively-balancing-racial-skills#latest
Just an explanation of why the races are balanced unfairly by ZOS's standard, and providing a potential solution involving that all races follow specific guidelines in their passives:
1. All races are given a bonus of 3000 max resources distributed across some combination of magicka, health, or stamina
2. All races have a bonus worth exactly 2 item set bonuses
3. All races have a sustain passive roughly equal to ~129 resource recovery (after taking into account % modifiers)
4. All races have a defensive bonus relatively equal to other races
5. All races have a flavor passive, and follow traditional TES lore
But yes, racial passives have always needed a rework since they updated them.

"The Wood Elves, or Bosmer, are mischievous, curious and nimble. Because their homeland of Valenwood is often attacked by the Colovian Imperials, Wood Elves are experts at the art of defense. They are also gifted archers, perhaps the best in all of Tamriel. The capital of the Aldmeri Dominion, Elden Root, lies in the heart of their homeland. It has evolved into a center of political and cultural importance and is of vital strategic importance in the battle to control Tamriel."
The key bit was - They are also gifted archers, perhaps the best in all of Tamriel. So that is what I choose and in keeping with a nature theme went with Warden. I still play it and enjoy playing it too.
It was much later that I was to discover that Bosmer are not in fact the best Archers in the game DPS wise, so if you were to reconsider Racial passives, I would like to see Bosmer being elevated to be the best Archers in all of Tamriel. This could be done by adding a specific racial buff, if and only if, using a Bow. This could be:
-Increased weapon damage (at least equal to Altmer, Dummer or Orc)
-Increasing range (although this can be done with some skills although it is not Bosmer specific).
So some combo of these to would then perhaps make them the best archers in all of Tamriel.
Thank you.
