What % of the US population would you think have to pay to get that "best" care? Would a household making $250,000 have enough to pay for that best care? That would mean 2% [1] of US household. Other comment in the thread mentioned earning "6 figures" and not being able to pay. A health system that is affordable to 2% of the population is definitely not working.

That source is from 2008. Now (https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator/ https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator/) its at 11%. And its not a binary. Anyone making six figures (nearly half of households) should be able to easily afford the best care. I'm sure there are people with spending problems who are exceptions to this.
