Can't see it.
Too much opposition to universal healthcare.
I think you will find there is a bit of a trade off there. I don't whether it is intentional or not but you use the same word - system - that the WHO uses in it's report in ranking countries. In it the U.S. is rated rather low however it and you place an inordinate emphasis on cost of services when ranking the quality of health care systems.
Under the current system one for UHC might argue what good is a top notch technology, physicians, resources etc. if people can't afford them? The other side of that is what good is cheap healthcare if it is of poor quality?
Your other interesting argument is money. The notion that because we have money we should be able to fix everything is pretty ridiculous. it is a notion that totally disregards human behavior and absolves people of responsibility. Such a system has to be paid for somehow. So how much out of your paycheck are you willing to turn over to be babysat all your life?

NYT said:Nearly 8 in 10 said they thought it was more important to provide universal access to health insurance than to extend the tax cuts of recent years; 18 percent said the tax cuts were more important.
ABC News said:With Gov. Mitt Romney set to sign Massachusetts' new universal health care coverage law today, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds the idea a popular one: Fifty-five percent of Americans say they'd support similar legislation in their own states.
The law, described by its supporters as a national model, requires all residents of the state to have health insurance. It includes a tax penalty for people who don't buy insurance, a $295 per-worker fee for businesses that don't provide it, and subsidies to help poor and low-income residents pay premiums.
CBS News said:SHOULD GOVERNMENT GUARANTEE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL?
Yes
64%
No
27%
WHICH IS MORE SERIOUS?
Providing health insurance for all

Keeping health care costs down
31%
Wall Street Journal said:The poll also showed high support for policies or practices that are considered more controversial. Eighty-seven percent of those polled say they support funding of international HIV prevention and treatment programs, while 75% favor universal health insurance, compared with 17% who oppose it. Another 70% support embryonic stem-cell research, compared with about 19% who oppose it.
