I think what you're complaining about is not the quality of available medical care, but the fact that (at least sometimes) you can't use the government to force other people to pay for what you want.

A stunt is not a system.
You're pointing out that we had the Apollo program and the Space Shuttle and using them to support the position that the US has a great transportation system. Putting a man on the moon doesn't help someone who can barely afford bus fare, just like a research hospital working on an ebola vaccine doesn't help children living a block away from it.
And how much medical research is entirely privately funded?
