          I’m hostile about your repeated and fallacious claim that healthcare isn’t free, when the truth is that the healthcare is free, but earning a salary isn’t. You’re charged for the earnings about certain thresholds, and you’re not charged for the healthcare. I contradicted you in only two of the many places you posted the same nonsense right wing talking points, and then you start complaining about my two versus your many.

                Your country has publicly funded healthcare that is free at point of service.

                  And nonsense. Healthcare is free in the UK. Roads are free in the UK, apart from a handful of toll roads and bridges.

                  Electricity is not free. I pay for that. Earning a salary is not free. I pay for that. Internet access is not free, I pay for that. But the healthcare is free. I can visit the doctor as many times as I like, I can have the most insanely expensive operation and I won’t get charged a penny.

                  At the theme park, the rides are free after you’ve paid admission. You can go on as many as you like until you decide to go home or the park closes. The food isn’t free, you have to pay for that. At the hospital, you don’t have to even pay admission, and you absolutely don’t have to be a taxpayer, all the healthcare is free. But the car parking and the food aren’t free (unless you’re an inpatient), you have to pay for those.
