Do we have a deal?!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! No hesitation.

but the notion that this particular procedure be denied to the poor
I would take issue with the wording here though. Because something isn't being provided, does not mean that it is being "denied". I consider this to be a very important distinction. If the procedure was being "denied", then we (you and I and whoever else) would not be allowed to privately donate whatever we see fit to subsidize this service to those in need.

If the government stopped funding for this service, would you voluntarily donate to groups that provide the service? I would, and I think that there are a lot of people that would as well. AND, I think that money privately donated would get more bang for the buck...meaning that for each dollar donated, a higher percentage would go for the intended use then if it went through a bureaucratic government system.
