I think free is a great word for something you can rock up to and collect without paying, and you don’t have to remortgage your house because your parent got cancer.
Yes I do get free hospitals. I live in the UK. Hospital visits are free and I don’t pay for them. I pay for parking if I park on site, but I absolutely do not pay for the healthcare. The healthcare is free. My daughter gets it free, I get it free, unemployed people get it free, billionaires get out free, everyone gets it free, no one is charged for it. The government pays the whole bill. Unlimited healthcare based on need, no cost.
It’s earning a salary that isn’t free. That costs me 20% above a certain threshold. But, no, the hospitals are completely free.
You’re twisting words to mean what you want them to mean. The healthcare is free but earning a salary is not. It’s very simple. You don’t pay for the healthcare, ever, no matter how often on expensive it is, but earning a salary is not free, and you get charged every time according to how much you get. The healthcare is free for everyone. Free. No charge. Unlimited. Free.
No, that’s bending reality to suit your right wing narrative. The reality is that the healthcare is free, but earning a salary isn’t. It doesn’t matter how much tax (if any) someone has paid or will pay, it’s a completely irrelevant number, because the healthcare is free for everyone.
I’m not upset, I’m just correcting you every time you try to claim that things that are free aren’t.
When the waiter says you get free refills of your soda, do you start an argument saying “NO NO I PAID FOR THAT. IT’S NOT FREE. IT’S PAID FOR OUT OF THE OVERCHARGING YOU’RE DOING ON THE REST OF MY MEAL.” No, because in the restaurant, you behave like a sane human being that accepts that free means you’re not charged, not that somehow it was magically created without expense to anyone.
Healthcare is free in the UK because it’s paid for by the government, who charge people taxes according to how much income they have, absolutely not in according to how much healthcare they get. The patient isn’t charged. That’s what free means. It doesn’t mean no-one paid, it means the recipient didn’t.
Stop trying to make free mean “no one anywhere spent any money at all” it’s not what free means. Free means you didn’t get charged. Buy one, get one free means you get the second one without paying. It DOESN’T mean the supermarket isn’t making a profit. Stop correcting people for using words to mean what they mean. Free means no charge. Healthcare is free in the UK.

Yeah, everyone knows this. That’s why healthcare is free in the UK - because of the NHS.
