In other words, do you hold the opinion that the U.S. health care system provides the best care in the world, and if so, are you willing to sacrifice that?

I think that sacrificing some of the best care for those at the top of the ladder is not too high a price to pay in order to make it so that low and middle class can get some health care. This goes against my Libertarian leanings and I would like to hear if anyone has any ideas on how to fix the present system so there is some free market competition instead of the present setting of prices by insurance companies.
I would imagine that the wealthy will always be able to buy better health care anyway. I don't think I'll be standing in line at the clinic next to Bill Gates anytime soon.
