Free to the end user, that's a rediculous thing to say as well. So if I go get treatment I can stop paying taxes for the rest of my life... Sheesh, sounds great.
Free to end user/free at point of use is exactly how these systems are described by the countries themselves that use them
Only if you have the memory of a goldfish. The context of this conversation was about whether or not private sector medical care in the United States was cheaper or more expensive than public sector medical care.
Neither one of those is free. Things cost money.
It's not that you don't have a point, it's not that you're not correct in some contexts because you are. The problem is what you're saying has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation in any way whatsoever.
Have fun in life, lol
