You forgot to add who pays for the tuition free and medicare for all.
Its easy to make something work when you are given the money to make it work, its where the money comes from thats the issue
I personally dont pay any attention to what other nations have done, my concern is here.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey was non profit they citizens were told for decades. Then they found out why the state gave them yearly hundreds of millions to be non profit. As soon as Jersey got in financial straights they stopped the appropriation and BCBS is now for profit.
Why did the university of california stop being free in 1985 if it was such a success ?
When NY University goes for free does that mean the professors work for free and all the ancillary staff that it takes to run the college work for free. If not where does the money come from to pay them.
The point is FREE is nonesense nothing is free, free in this sense means you get it for free and he pays double.
