I lived in Germany, 12 years ago, and had a tooth go bad on a Friday morning requiring an emergency root canal.

My coworkers that helped me find a dentist commented that it was fortunate that I had private insurance. Otherwise, I would have had no chance to get in quickly. Long waiting lines for those on public insurance.

Seems to me that...
- Free isn't fast.
- Free doesn't mean quality.
- Free isn't free because despite claims that the top 1% will pay, reality is the middle class tax rate goes up substantially. This is proven wherever "free" is the social model.

Free means you turn over self reliance and control to someone else. I can't trust another to change the oil in my car. Why would I want to depend on others to provide for me?
