Everyone benefits from the NHS.

The moral hazard is non graduates (including pensioners) subsiding graduates.

Though it's less direct than the NHS benefit, I think it's a pretty good argument that everyone benefits from an educated society, even if you can't point at every single person with a degree and say they're contributing to the greater good.

Educated people design infrastructure, products, services, (public and private) that affects every aspect of everyone's life.
