sOf course, the current American system means that if your parents can affor d to keep you in college for long enough you'll have a chance to put in tho se long hours at a job that pays twenty times as much per hour as the jobs on offer to somebody who couldn't afford the expensive education.

Don't knock the book - he wrote it, and it sold. Few can manage the first b it, and few of them the second. And his enthusiasm for re-distributing the fruits of everybody's labour is much the same as every other politicians. H e isn't as keen on redistributing it to your favourite recipients as you'd like, but few are.

In general the people who want to see better social security and better fre e education wouldn't count what they could expect to get out of it as an "a ccumulation of monetary wealth".
Not strictly true. No US politicians since FDR has proposed confiscatory ta x levels, and the - limited - redistribution that might be being proposed i s mainly aimed at giving people a chance at a decent life who have got very little chance at one under the present US system.
Scandinavia and Germany offer much higher social mobility than the Us does, and that's mostly down to better welfare payments and better state-subsidi sed education.There's nothing in the German or Scandinavian system that sto ps a bright rich kid from getting to the top, though it's less easy for the rich parents of a not-so-bright rich kid (Dubbya comes to mind) to get the ir child into the German equivalent of Harvard.

That's the core that you see. Your vision is - to put it kindly - selective .
Atul Gawande listed at least one example of Obamacare working to make healt h care more efficient, and you damned it as being a carry-over from the ear lier system that Obamacare had made less effective - while not bothering to find any examples from the pre-Obamacare system.
None of which seem to include you. How unfortunate.
Thus supporting the previous system which is half again more expensive per head than the international competition.
I don't recall Obamacare as being enacted by stealth. You complained bitter ly about it at the time, and haven't stopped complaining since. So far your predicted disasters haven't happened, despite the best efforts of the Tea Party.
The Affordable Care Act didn't get to be a thousand pages long by Obama dic tating every last clause - IIRR there was the usual congressional compromis e, and the health insurance industry had a large input.
