How does a government facilitate comprehensive care for its constituents without sacrificing equity?

Unfortunately there is only one answer to this question and that is-it can't. In order to create comprehensive care for it's people a government must spend money. This is the only way to provide healthcare, pensions and welfare for the poor. In Europe this cost is rolled into taxes both person and sales. Europe also benefits from governmental health care. This includes five weeks of paid vacation, and social programs for the unemployed. America on the other hand depends on the private sector for healthcare, two weeks paid vacation, when it is offered, and the government for social programs such as food stamps and housing assistance. the government has run out of money and companies are finding that offering benefits to their employees does not allow for maximum profits. When did we become "We the people of the capitalistic America more interesting in money than the welfare of it's people." didn't the founding fathers want a more perfect union?
