MsRR: Most politicians on both sides say we need universal healthcare, which is not equality of opportunity. Equality of opportunity for medical care would lead to only the rich getting care. Besides (on a separate rant), equality of opportunity doesn't actually exist. People have different levels of education, different access to local jobs, different parents, different genetics, and so on.

I'm not favoring Obamacare. It's a terrible solution, but the problems it's supposed to solve are pretty bad. Namely, medical costs aren't fairly distributed, and we're running a deficit.

What do you think a better system for healthcare would be? I'm honestly curious, because I haven't thought about this issue very much.
