>Maybe England is not a good example. Maybe you should look Cuba or old Bulgaria. My father-of law says "When I was at Bulgaria health system was excellent. All of them free and same for everyone. When one of my children is had a fever, ambulance was coming my home". Bulgaria left the socialism and now they have a terrible healt-care system now...

>My point is that if it is subsidized by the government, it is not free. If it is subsidized by the government, it is being paid for by taxes.

And my point is that payment is spread among all people - theoretically equally, rather than those who need care most paying by far the most (which is likely unaffordable).
