Letting healthcare become a truly free market literally means having people die on the streets from preventable diseases if they can't afford to treat them.

Most civilized nations have decided that they don't want that kind of thing a long time ago.

I didn't say "truly free" market or healthcare, and the thread is about higher education, but thanks.
