Thanks much, Robert! I have started using your terminology, and I'm happy to give you the attribution.
I can see how, just as each of us is an admixture of conservative and progressive, each can be an admixture of the egalitarian and equitist. For example, I, largely an egalitarian, would consider myself an equitist when it comes to health care.

Great! Are you really an equitist on health care? No judgment proffered, but I would call someone who favors universal health insurance, perhaps financed by a government safety net, as an egalitarian of a specific type. An equitist is one who, for example, believes members of specific ethnic groups should receive cash reparations or priority in surgical wait-lists or such. Or one who caterwauls against "whiteness," as does the AMA's Equity project.
I see what you mean. I do favor universal healthcare (opportunity), but you're right, I don't think everyone should or even can be equally healthy (outcome).
