It's crazy how weird people get about it, but I think it's a class-shame thing. I grew up in a poor council block, and have _no_ qualms calling it out for what it is.

Also, completely-free or U.S.A.-style-nightmare are not the only two options. There's a whole rainbow in between, those are extremes! I'm now in a country that's got the balance right; everyone has healthcare, and everyone who can afford it (most) pay affordable insurance for it. The standard of care is _amazing_!
