The only difference is that one system favors one cohort and another system favors a different cohort. It not recognizing the universality and inevitability of ad-hoc favoritism, it seems to me that you are objecting to favoritism not inn principle but only when it benefits the other guys rather than your preferred cohort. It seems to me that favoring people who are most successful at being ruthless resembles anarchy. Those who succeed in politics are far more likely to be ethically challenged ruthless scumbags. So setting up a system that they can manipulate to their advantage is a type of social darwinism that is bad for the lang term of the human race. People who can afford medical care should be allowed to purchase it with their own money. Some minimum of care should be available for those who cannot. When you try to make the results equal for all those who don't care to contribute to solving the problem but want the benefits of the results drag down the system.
