I think I understand your concern, but how do you very briefly describe what’s happening a better way?
Schools in the US are “free”, although they are generally funded by taxes. I think if you said to most people that society benefits from a good basic education for everyone, they would agree.
If you said that should apply to higher education, it doesn’t sound like too much of a stretch.
If you then said “we should have the same standard of education and funding for the entire nation”, many people would say “No way”, because America, and that would mean centralized funding and standards and stuff. It’s always that last part.
I’m hostile about your repeated and fallacious claim that healthcare isn’t free, when the truth is that the healthcare is free, but earning a salary isn’t. You’re charged for the earnings about certain thresholds, and you’re not charged for the healthcare. I contradicted you in only two of the many places you posted the same nonsense right wing talking points, and then you start complaining about my two versus your many.

National education. Funded degrees. Paid-for education. Universal education. Lots of options.
We don’t call it free healthcare do we?
yes we do
We do in the UK. Because it’s free.
It’s called the National Health System and it’s paid for with taxes, yes?
Earning a salary isn’t free. You get charged all the time for that.
Going to hospital is free. You get unlimited visits and any procedure you need at zero cost to you, taxpayer or not, no charge. Free.
I am not having the exact same conversation in 2 places.
It looks to me like you are, because you said the same nonsense lots of places, but that’s up to you, I guess.
Because I didn’t realize it was the same person in both. What a weird thing to get hostile about.
