    Jupp, healthcare should be free for the individual in need. And at the same time it is not “free” because the costs get compensated by taxes. At least that’s how it works in Germany, where i am from. So the point of the person you answered to stands: yes, free for individual, covered by state/insurance which gets the money from someone else.

      The person I replied to literally said it shouldn’t be free because it may increase their taxes. So it was implied that they meant it should not be free for the individual, meaning the individual should be expected to have to pay for their own medical treatment when needed.
