The rich aren't favored by the system, the rich are in a better position because they are rich. If you had "free" national health care for the rich and not for everyone else that would be favoring the rich. If you mean a system that allows the rich to have more than the poor harms the poor I would disagree quite strongly. If you try to bring the rich down you often end up hurting most non-rich. Should I take your post to mean that there should be some national baseline of care and no one should be able to buy a higher level of care than that baseline? If not what does it mean in terms of the practical realities of health care. You didn't get more specific you got more general and vague. What points about the program do you like, what do you think the results will be?
