All right, all right.. I only used slavery in comparison to lack of public government-assisted basic healthcare, because it's extreme discrimination and inequality at its worst. It literally translates to you refusing to extend your arm to a guy trying to crawl out of a crushed car with a truck about to fall on top of it, just because he doesn't have the dollar bills in his hand for you to accept his proof that he can pay for healthcare. 
Say, somebody stole your identity, emptied your bank account, caused you to have bad credit, and your company laid you off at the same time... shall we deny you your healthcare, if you didn't have the moola to cough up at that instant?
Other countries go even further to provide free college education for all regardless of race, creed, status or background, but I'll not go there for now.
Of course, it's not fair that the rich feel like they have to pay for more, but what's even more unfair is that the poor black families still recovering from the after-effects of slavery (and extreme discrimination and lack of education allowed up until the civil rights movement of the 60's - and still persisting well into the 80's in many parts of the country, which influences today) simply do not have the money to ever pay off the stupid health care costs.
Pure unfettered capitalism means extreme slavery of all but the executives. It'd be that way if it were not for the government. We're all too selfish - we need a baseline system and a central body to enforce that system, so that we don't run each other down into a totalitarian communist monopoly of one gigantic corporation turning everybody into blind slaves.
