>> Again we may very well have the VERY BEST health system in the world for a very limited number of people.

Of course we do, but the number isn't that limited.

Out of 306 Million Americans, roughly 5%, or 15 Million, don't have insurance for some reason other than just preferring to spend the money on partying. That means 95% have access the VERY BEST health care in the world.

95% is not a "very limited" number of people. It is almost all. Even in countries where there is socialized medicine they are not able to cover 100% (more like 98%). So, the difference is marginal and could easily be solved without gutting the "VERY BEST HEALTH SYSTEM IN THE WORLD".
