Streamlined industry, no bloated insurance midde-man and socialism.

But that means it’s not free.

It’s free at point of sale. You don’t go bankrupt when you get sick. And if you need a heart transplant, you pay the same amount as if you didn’t need the doctor. It’s not based on how much medicine you receive.

But it ends up cheaper for everyone, except the hypotetical person who was never sick his entire life and also never paid for insurance his entire life.

They're as free as the roads you drive on. Taxes are used to pay for it so everybody can use it.

I don’t want to drive on doctors.
