"and make the most of their lives," can be slowly expanded to include complete and comprehensive, health care, college education

You say that like it's a bad thing.

(never mind the fact that everyone having a college education is extremely wasteful,)

How? Demonstrate this. Give sources.

It also completely ignores the concept of limited resources. This is reflected in the sometimes encountered naive view that we could, theoretically, give anyone whatever surgery they needed.

Sure, if you want to ignore the fact that, with prompt medical attention, many conditions that require surgery later on can be caught early and treated without. Or that, without the massive advertising programs undertaken by for-profit drug companies to no good end, drugs would not be nearly as expensive as they are. Or that we could in fact devote a great deal more time and energy to actual health care were it not for the expensive and wasteful system of insurance and liability that currently exists in this country.

Those countries that have governmental health care have limits on what ages can get what treatments precisely because this isn't possible.

I presume you have a citation for this?
