I don't know if there are many countries with fully subsidized college but there are at least a few who don't seem to see any worse outcomes than the US's existing partial subsidization by loans and grants.

those countries typically also have entrance requirements to college that would not sit well with the US, which values the perception of egalitarianism.

Many students aren't getting what they pay for now. Better to be debt free.
