To me universal health care should be paid for universally. By taxing the wealthy at an disproportionate rate you are forcing them to pay for something they need less than anyone. I consider that to be radical.
If you are taxing the wealthy based on the amount of wealth they hold, that is not disproportionate. It is a proportion based on their wealth. Much like how our progressive tax system does the same thing based on income. By the definition of radical your presented earlier, this solution is far less so than a flat tax.
