So then the relevant question becomes, are there enough "rich", with
enough money, to finance health care for all the non rich among us,
without rationing?

There it is, you just answered your own question. America has the highest
level of poverty and income inequality of any rich nation. The rich and
middle class provide coverage for the poor masses " which is huge in this
country". Deal with poverty in this country and you'll deal with one of the
major costs associatted with our health care system. The other big problem
is that there is more profit in a pound of cure than an ounce of prevention.


Add to that the fact that lack of access to quality health care is in
itself a major cause of poverty. In addition, paying for a single
health issue has caused many formerly solvent individuals and families
to slip below the poverty level.
