Doesn't seem much more realistic than the notion that poor people can just work harder or get better jobs and stop being poor, ultimately.

Or allocate more money from other areas that are overfunded? I guess I'm confused, are you speaking in terms as if the figure you've given is the absolute most that can be squeezed out or is it "this is your health care budget, you decide how to spend it?"
EDIT: I guess what I'm saying is that the U.S. has the capability to provide equal access to pretty good medical care if they had desire to do so. Well beyond just basic and life-saving measures anyways.
