Free healthcare does not exist. Someone will pay the bill. The bill may not be ridiculously inflated but someone pays.
I'm not saying you're wrong but you are being pedantic: aka the worst kind of right.
It's free in the same sense that a free school lunch is free: the exchange of money happened long before/after the actual goods or services get to the person who needs it
I am not pedantic. I am precise. People need to understand that other people pay for their treatment and it does not just happen.
People know and understand that - that's why countries with high tax rates aren't seeing people throw tea in the water on a regular basis. They understand that they have representation and a share in the value that comes having those relatively high tax rates.
