But the cool thing is that you totally still have the means in which to help poor people obtain health care. Your priorities can still be executed. Just don't interfere with mine.

It's true, in that not literally every single poor person would be unable to get care. Many more would die now, though. So they do actually run against each other, I'm sorry to say.

I get that no system is perfect, but there is quite a bit of opportunity to assist poor people, especially if competition has resulted in much lower prices. The poor people won't need as much financial assistance to get care if the prices are lower, and your average person who does make decent income will have more money left over to donate to poor people if they aren't paying as much for healthcare.

Of course, whether they do donate or not is up to them. I think a bit of social pressure can go a long way, though.
