In terms of healthcare and medicine I totally agree. But I’m not sure about food. It’s absence would kill me but to have or for free would be problematic. Water is another problem field.
curious your reasoning because from a hierarchy of needs i'd put food as more fundamental than most of healthcare/medicine (i.e. preventive care, quality-of-life care; ER services and life-threatening sicknesses could be as immediate as food though)... plus the cost of some baseline of universal food is surely a lot lower than universal healthcare.
It sucks that even water costs money.
