Americans cannot stomach the idea of giving anyone anything for "free", without thinking about longer term benefits.

- LyndsySimon 9y agoI don't think this is it at all. The argument is that there is no such thing as "free", there are only transfers of cost. Someone is paying.
- arethuza 9y agoWell, we usually refer to the UK NHS as "free" but we all know that it means "free at the point of delivery" we know it gets funded from our taxes and therefore all taxpayers pay. As someone who just had a few days in an NHS hospital I'm pretty much delighted with the experience. When was money mentioned? Not once, not once.
