Other first world populations are able to fund healthcare for all, and the US can too. Sure there will be drama and theatrics, and eventually it will be a scandal that so much was extracted as dividends for so long or that the scolding generations voted so much benefit for themselves while refusing to pay for it, but in the end it'll be OK.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
