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).
