Is this biased reporting?

The heart example was, of course, a thought experiment by which I was intending to clarify my original point, which was this: the only way to (roughly) ensure equal access to health care is through public funding and administration.

Probably just reading you wrong... but you don't actually seem to mean equal access (I probably just don't understand the U.S. medical system).

I would have thought that all citizens in the U.S. DO have 'equal access' to medical services, but don't have 'equal ability' to pay for them?
