<<<Your begging the question. The issue is if things like universal single payer health care are really progress.>>> Universal single payer health care has definitely not been perfected, but you just know that it is only a matter of time. To let people get sick and die because they do not have money is not going to be tolerated. Poor countries without the resources can't help it. They are going without, but once your country makes sufficient advances - universal health care is not going to be a privilege, it becomes a right of citizenship. Any other kind of health care system can not ever prevail. In any other type of health care system, there ultimately has to be some kind of judgement by people in government as to who is "deserving" of health care.
