Well, not free…. Taxes and all that. But free at the time of service, sure.
E: not sure what triggered the downvote train. Nothing I said is untrue. It’s not free, it’s paid for with taxes. It’s not a dig against socialized care, I’d much prefer to have that vs the financial disaster that US healthcare is.
Not free I agree but I prefer getting taxed a lot and have those services rather than not.
The way I see it, if we tax for example fuel, well the price of fuel rises for the customers, so customers buy less fuel, then fuel companies lower the price so their stuff gets bought and now your fuel is around the same price as before, but you have free healthcare.
Yeah, you are right. In Germany we pay pay around 15% of our montlhy income for it. I too would not want to trade it in any way, but yeah, you pay for it.

And yet somehow, they end up paying less for health care than Americans do…
Everybody is paying less then Americans do.
I’d rather my taxes be used for that rather than bailing out banks…
And the horrendously corrupt and unnecessarily extra military complex.

Well Americans also pay for medical expenses in taxes as well as at time of service, we get double charged.
It’s free as in freedom
