| Jul 11, 2019 at 13:41 | comment | added | BobE | @immibis - but you'd admit that "free" was never used in the Guthrie question. Moreover, do you consider Medicare or Medicaid " free healthcare"? (both are government-sponsored)? To quote from the OP own argument (in edit history) "_ government insurance plan = "free" healthcare) this is the correct term to use in this case_" . The OP's premise is incorrect, a government insurance plan DOES NOT equal free healthcare. For example VA healthcare is not free, medicare is not free, Indian Health service is not free, even medicaid is not entirely free. The OP is just poorly informed. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 20:05 | comment | added | BobE | @immibis - IMO he is choosing that "free" wording to agitate. I've edited it out now twice, however he justifies using "free" b/c he intreprets government-sponsorship as equal to "free" . The word "free" that he is SO insistent on including was not used during the debate. He is deliberately misstating the question and the response to evoke a reaction. | |

| Jul 9, 2019 at 20:37 | comment | added | BurnsBA | Since the United States presidential candidates are not trying to get elected in a country outside of the United States, and this question is mostly relevant to people living in the United States, it makes sense to ignore common terminology used "in other countries" and to discuss the question the same way that the candidates and US media discuss it ~ "medicare for all" or "health care plan," neither or which use the word "free." | |

reverted to "free health care" once again, see previous explanations. Please do not remove the term "free" any more, you can comment or post an answer

"free" is OPs intrepretation, government sponsored DOES not equal "free" see comments
|
| Jul 9, 2019 at 18:56 | comment | added | BobE | The use of "free" in this question is deliberately inflammatory and mischaracterizes what was said. I will remove it again, as Guthrie did not say "free". It is a common misconception that Medicare is "free" because it is government sponsored - as medicare beneficiaries will attest - beneficiaries pay a premium each month for medicare insurance. | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 18:18 | comment | added | T.E.D. | @Agustus - You shouldn't make assertions about what someone said if they never actually said that. Any answers anyone posts centered around statements that were never made are the rhetorical equivalent of dividing by 0. So either this question should have references to Democrats actually saying "free health care", or the term should be changed to what they are actually saying. | |

revert again to reflect government funded insurance aka "free healthcare" as supported by candidates
|
| Jul 9, 2019 at 16:51 | comment | added | user23920 | @TED as I pointed out in a previous revision, all candidates clearly expressed a desire to create a government funded health insurance plan. i.e "medicare for all", "free insurance" or "free healthcare". Obviously nothing in life is free- you pay into it with taxes, but that is the common terminology in other countries with government health insurance. All the candidates then expressed the fact that they would include illegals in their plans, hence "free healthcare". | |

| Jul 9, 2019 at 15:37 | comment | added | GendoIkari | @DJClayworth I have always heard them used as synonyms, unless the different you are referring to is in tone and context? | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 15:00 | comment | added | DJClayworth | There is a difference between "undocumented immigrants" and "illegal immigrants". | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 14:21 | comment | added | T.E.D. | The word "free" used in this question was such a mischaractarization that I felt morally obligated to remove all occurrances of it. If mistakenly believing they were all supporting free healthcare for the undocumented was really integral to your question, I guess you should revert the change. | |
