I’m pretty sure no one wants “free” healthcare…
… I’m pretty sure we all want healthcare paid for by our taxes, which covers everyone, and ensures that everyone can get treatment when they’re sick.

Sadly, I don't think you're right. There are a number of people on SW who get very exercised when the word 'tax' is mentioned which shows that there are very many who are comfortably off and comfortable with other people being very sick for want of financial resource. They don't think ahead to the day when they can't work anymore, or are the unfortunate one to be struck down with an incurable, debilitating condition. Apparently, if you're against shared responsibility for providing healthcare, you can't be subject to the worst things that life can throw at you.

@AthrillatheHunt That's the truth. This is why education is so important and why when you get a regime which denies education in all its fullness, such as North Korea, Russia, China and sadly these days it looks like in parts of the USA, the hope for democracy to change anything is in vain.
Lest I be seen to be picking on other countries, I have seen the curriculum in English (not sure about the other countries of the UK) schools narrow down to remove critical thinking and bits of history, literature and the arts marginalised or removed altogether. It's dreadful.

@FreddieUK Trump's cutting the entire dept of education and Murka voted for that. No alternatives, no third party! Hate inc is getting democracy.

@Roundandroundwego he’s proposed cutting more than that to give money to the pentagon for defense in his BBB bill.
