But if we consider a national health care system, we have to make sure we don't get a graduated system where some people qualify for top-notch care grading down in steps until the working poor stand in lines at the emergency room... I agree.

I think we should go with a two tier system. Every valid procedure to treat illness should be available to everyone, paid for by everyone, and all physicians and health care organizations should be required to participate. For people not willing to wait, or wanting elective or cosmetic procedures, a private system should be available, that recieves no public funding. We could fund it by not spending as much as the rest of the world combined on the military - say just spend as much as China and Russia combined.
