You are acting like conservatives havent been in power since 1965. Or they havent cut state funding to state schools or Liberty and Bob jones arent in on this. Or GW didnt remove bankruptcy protections from student loans.
Oh please. Leftists have driven up education cost through their self-created academia industry. Schools waste so much on things that are totally unnecessary and have created all these wasteful administrative positions that should not exist. Who are these administrators and professors at universities? All leftists. All feeding off the loan industry teet while proclaiming the virtues of socialism and providing naïve young people degrees in liberal art disciplines that have no value in the labor market damning them to a lifetime of indentured servitude and reliance on the state for support rather than providing them with a useful education that allows them to become self-sufficient and financially independent..
Occasionally a conservative school, like Liberty University, takes advantage of these leftist-created policies too that siphon money from tax-payers to schools through the middleman loan industry. And they do it well by maximizing profit with low cost online courses. However it's intellectually dishonest to point to a couple of schools like this, which comprise a tiny minority of the overwhelming liberal higher education industry and say, "it's all THEIR fault, look at all the money THEY are making!"
Want to see what a "free college" looks like? Go to Europe and look at a public school. Bare architecture. Weeds growing around buildings. A basic cafeteria. Minimal support staff. No fancy art hanging on walls. Education result is the same. Last I checked Germany still produced the world's best engineers. While it's still not right to steal taxpayers dollars like this, at least they're more responsible with them and try to keep costs low.
They complain about teacher salaries, but no tax dollars or bond money ever goes to teacher salaries.
Look at how much the liberal institutions pay their "adjunct faculty," who have PhDs but can't make a living teaching, while the tenured professors who really do no teaching at all (that's what the adjunct suckers and desperate foreign TAs with visas do) champion a $15 minimum wage for high school drop outs and medicare for all and welfare for those who are "unwilling to work." It's criminal.
Then the current system is working just fine for you. And dont be surprised when people seek emergency care we end up footing the bill anyway . Also Dont be surprised when the middle class people who work and still cant afford care will push for Medicare for all.
It works fine for me because I work and budget and save money for medical expenses. You know, being a responsible adult. I have been to a doctor probably a half dozen times the past year and fork over around $50-$100 each time at the time of service followed by the remainder later as I never hit my deductible. I'm paying for a service that's only reasonable in cost because I have to pay my "insurance" company $150 a month to get their super secret discount they negotiate with the provider.
At no point did I ever think I was entitled to just walk into a providers office, get a service, go to a pharmacy, get a bottle of pills, and then go get better without any money leaving my bank account at any point.
