We cannot provide all the medical care for everyone who might want it. The question then is who decides who lives and who dies? We could easily provide healthcare for every American citizen. Just raise taxes a bit, and cut out most of our military spending.
Why only American citizens? There are entire countries whose populations are worse off than the most poorly ensured USAian. Doesn't your heart bleed for them? Regardless, don't go to the trouble of raising taxes and cutting military spending - it isn't needed. I can personally provide a some level of healthcare for every American citizen. I'm assuming quality of care isn't a consideration?
