Healthcare is free in some countries, but housing is not, and housing is cheaper and more important.
Housing is cheaper healthcare because it prevents a lot of problems like being mugged or getting lice or bitten by spiders.
You might say, people won't go to work if they don't have to pay rent.
But that's not true.
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both billionaires, but they still went to work.
I think the CEO of a few companies during the recession worked for $1 a year.
They work cuz they like to work.
I was looking at job postings. For one secretary job, there were sixty applications for that one job. Sixty.
If you cut out the people who wanted to work only to pay rent, maybe they would still get twenty applications for that job. That's still plenty.
I don't think having homeless people benefits anyone. Because then homeless people get mugged or beaten up and then they have expensive police visits or hospital stays.
And housing is cheap compared to the other costs of government like defense and research.
The Iraq war cost like 3 trillion dollars. And more people die to heart attacks than to terrorism.
we live in an age in america where 46% work. the big question on everybody's mind since 1963.

The healthcare in those countries is not free. The change is how the people in those countries pay for it, instead of paying for services received at the time of service the people of those countries pay for healthcare through taxes.
