As for "the poor get great healthcare free of cost already", lets be honest here, they get health care if it is a life and death situation. Otherwise they get bupkis. You go rupture your ACL, turn up to an emergency centre and need a knee reconstruction and see how far you get without health insurance. They will stabilise your condition and send you on your way.
As has been mentioned before, in every "western" socialist health system I have ever heard of one can still opt in for health inusrance. The rich can still get better health care if they are willing to pay for it. It's just that the poor and lower classes still have some hope of getting things, other than life and death emergencies, cared for.
So I personally don't see the problem.

Sounds reasonably to me. But then again I live in the country with the highest tax rate in the world (and I'm willing to pay more).
