Just another example of something that could be universal if we taxed the rich appropriately.

I didn't say they were rich. I still can't afford to go to the doctor though, so the distinction isn't significant to my experience of not having medical care.

But they are not wealthy nor the ones deciding that cost

You did say doctors were rich. Otherwise, who is "this is just another handout to the wealthy" referring to? And like the other commenter mentioned, doctors aren't usually the ones setting their own costs.
