In theory, tax payer paid healthcare is a good idea. In theory.

    I’ve always supported at least some level of a tax paid system. It’s never been a change for me. For profit doesn’t always mean government owners. It can be non-profits or other solutions. I just don’t think profit should be the core of the medical system due to inelastic demand.

    Swedish studies have as high of a debt load leaving college as Americans. So free isn’t free.

    In Germany only 33% of the population has a degrees. America it’s 54%. Previously Germany was about 24%. So if you are willing to allow only 24% of people to have degrees then sure, I’d support free education. That would sharply limit the supply.

      I agree with you, comrade.

      Well I happen to believe that anything Germany can do, America can do better. We put man on the moon, did Germany do that? Why, I bet with a little American ingenuity and determination, we could get up to 60% of Americans to have degrees in gender studies.
