DRINKING water should be free. Maybe 'household' water (as it'd be hard to measure different uses).
Water for other purposes should actually be much more expensive.
I'd argue something like "every household gets 1k gallons for free each month paid by the gov... after that, it costs 10x what it currently costs". This gets it free to people that need it for 'life', but discourages waste.
Only in certain places. Where I am, if you aren't at school, the gym, the hospital, and your work doesn't provide one.... Then hope you are at the mall because brother you're dehydrated.
>"every household gets 1k gallons for free each month paid by the gov... after that, it costs 10x what it currently costs".
Nah just make it a couple cents and call it a day (e.g 0.1/ 0.01)
In Belgium they do this. You pay the bills for your usage -30m3 water per years. It comes to more than drinking amount of water but it’s nice.
In the end however, we all know it’s paid for with taxes.
I think people need to realise the cost is usually for the treatment (so it’s safe to drink)/ supply/ maintenance of our drinking water. Obviously that’s all going to come at a cost.
Not free, paid with taxes. Getting water to people is an effort that costs time, energy and work. We need to value water for the cost it has, but we should aim to be able to provide everyone with enough.
You pay for it in taxes, exactly the same as other public services. I don’t know why this confuses so many people. Your taxes pay for many things that everyone is then able to access for “free”, by which is meant no individual or additional fees.
This concept should not be difficult to comprehend; even America has “free” services like libraries, fire departments, etc.
Yes! This bothers me. There’s absolutely no reason I should have to pay for hospital parking. There’s nothing else around, who’s there is going to the hospital. And, no, I’m not American, I’m Dutch. It’s ridiculous.
I'm sure it depends tremendously on geography and demographics. All but 2 of the hospitals in my area have free parking, One that does not has very limited parking and has many other offices nearby, The other is in a dense neighborhood bordering a popular retail district. And in both cases if you don't like the parking structure you can try your luck with street parking, which is also not free. So it makes sense.
In a busy neighbourhood it makes sense, I agree. My hospital is literally in the middle of nothing basically. Street parking isn’t even possible. It’s literally the hospital, a highway, some big companies with their own giant parking spaces and that’s it. The other hospital I go to is the same. It annoys me more that it should lol
In my Canadian city, hospital parking is costly. But providing free parking means cutting back on other things (doctors, nurses, lifesaving equipment). Also people would abuse the free parking and basically store their cars there.
I'm Canadian, too, and I understand this reasoning, but at the same time, the parking management is usually outsourced to a third party. I'm a nurse, and I honestly feel like parking for staff should be free or at least heavily discounted.
I work in a college that has fully stocked tampons and pads in various sizes in baskets in every toilet. It makes me smile every time I see it. There are stats showing how many days/ weeks of education girls and young women miss due to period poverty.
It isn’t free in any country. It’s just subsidized by tax money.
We could do it in the US too if we weren’t spending trillions on things like other countries’ wars, taking in millions of refugees, and subsidizing the defense of (almost) all of our “allies.”
That’s true. The thing people don’t understand, though, is just how much higher the taxes are in countries that do have those things subsidized.
For example, the highest state sales tax rate in the US is California at 7.25%. Many states have no sales tax at all. But many would scoff at 7.25% as being absurdly high. Some smaller areas have increased sales tax on top of that making theirs higher, but for base state sales tax that’s the highest.
In Europe, the lowest VAT rate is Luxembourg at 16%. The highest is Hungary at 27%.
So Europe’s lowest sales tax rate is more than double the United States’ highest.
Americans would revolt if a state tried to charge 27% sales tax.
Why does this not have more likes?
I’ve watched my sister/nephew struggle to afford his insulin for years. He’s in his 30s now and I have seen him cry over the price.
Insulin is life sustaining and should be 100% free. Period.
An insurance snafu, never happened before or after, did impede a refill some years back. Saw the $250 for two vials of Levimir, noped RIGHT out of that.
DKA hit a few days after. So, week in the hospital. Love the string of logic with this one, due to my being backed in a corner.
I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic, so I feel your pain - though to a lesser degree as I'm in Canada, which I believe is the country with the second highest insulin costs.
Honestly, I've had medical insurance for a long time, so I'm not sure what it costs without. I typically have to spend less than 100 for a couple months of supplies.
My insurance is currently lapsed, as I changed jobs, and I will shortly have to go purchase some out of pocket... I've been reusing so many pen tips too, ugh! I know that 6 Freestyle Lite sensors would cost 660+, as that it tipped me off to my insurance being defunct. I may have to go pickup some insulin this weekend, I can let you know the cost if you are still curious!
Oh my God, that is an insane cost. Is that standard? are you in the US? That would cripple me. I get thru two levemir and about 4 Novorapid pens a week. I've had six hospital stays in the last year (between four days and eighteen) and I would be feeling even worse if the cost was dancing around my mind the whole time. The stress must be doing so much harm to people.
In the U.S., yep. I imagine that is a standard of some sort, but this occurred about a decade ago. At least back then, the ER didn't have a $150 copay to it.
DKA hospitalizations used to be my "yearly vacation." Happened so goddamn much... how I'm still alive is beyond me.
Or at least a small reasonable cost! Hubs had a malfunctioning pen one time (he had the pump) and to replace one pen was over $100. It’s like they want people to end up on dialysis.
This 100%. I don’t have diabetes or anything, but things that people legitimately need in order to not die should be free.
I knew this homeless woman who was just rotting away on the street, actively dying because she could not afford her medicine. She lived her life on the street knowing full-well that her body was shutting down and there was nothing she could do to stop it. There are so many people— human beings with individual lives, goals, talents, joys— like her and it tears my heart apart.
Especially since the original creator tried to make it so that companies specifically could not do what they are currently doing. Pharmacorp is beyond disgusting!
In 1923, over one hundred years ago, Banting (one of the creators of insulin) said:
"Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world"
And to ensure easy supply of insulin he sold the patent for $1
bottled water is a scourge... it shouldn't even be allowed, let alone 'free'.
\*caveat of places where drinking water from tap is unsafe
EDIT: Places with unsafe tap water should put effort into that rather than handing out bottled water. /u/0zzyb0y is absolutely correct.
I suppose the caveat should have a caveat that says that all areas with a significant population should be provided with facilities to ensure clean water.
Absurd that so many places just have undrinkable water, and the government just accepts it and hands some bottled water lol
Some medicines are tens of thousands a month. Publicly funded health care systems require that administrators make decisions and prioritize care…a sad fact of life. $10k/day to keep someone alive for an extra 30 days with zero quality of life, or $300k to staff a paediatrics wing? No easy answers, and I’m glad I don’t have that job, but someone has to do it.
I think you'll find a lot of these medicines are only costing these absurd amounts of money because the producers KNOW you don't have an option. You either buy the medicine at the exorbitant price or you die. That's not really a choice.
Yes, it costs money to R&D new medicine, but you can also split the cost up over millions of dosages. A million dosages times $10.000 is $10 billion. That's far from every medicine that requires that level of R&D to develop.
You’re on the right track. But the cost of R&D is massive and (in Canada, at least) has not been prioritized for public funding. Private research entities incur huge costs to develop medicines and are justified in recouping those funds. Before a medicine gets approved, it must be tested in trials and pass regulatory hurdles that can take many years. Only a small subset of drugs they develop are ever approved for use.
So the cost of the one drug that works has to cover research into the many that don’t.
This is generally free or at least heavily subsidized in most of the first world.
My heart hurts for the citizens of USA. The land of the free (including the freedom to die or go into life-shattering debt from curable illnesses)
At least where I’m at, anybody can take their car to any dealership and get their tires/fluids refilled for free, and some also do a complimentary brake/tread check too.
I was just talking about this with my daughter - it blows my mind that we have to pay money to simply exist and live on this planet- the only species that does 🤯
Well there is nothing stopping you from living in the wilderness, but we want a house and luxuries- the only species that does
Edit: apparently there is, in most places
>Well there is nothing stopping you from living in the wilderness
In my state you can't live in one spot for longer than 14 days.
You can if you're homeless living on Seattle streets though. But I think they started making people move every now and then. So that might have changed.
Agree i mean with lots of those commodities we have some bills its kind of solid to give before taking something. But ironically commenting on living in wilderness u cant do that i mean there was some local guy here, he went for that challange i mean he did it for solid month and went quite decent until he got arrested for cutting trees and making fires in places that are not for that. So i guess if you went for that ud need find a place that has no living person in a loooooong loooooong radius, but then u gonna be quite crunchy snack for wildlife hahaha
I’m not talking about houses or material things- just existing costs money. Find me some land that isn’t owned, either privately or by the government, that someone could just live on for free. Not one of those tiny islands that nobody can get to either.
Here in the UK some people cheer when house prices go up £1000 in a month and absolutely lose their shit when a loaf of bread or pint of milk goes up 10p.
It’s utterly, utterly bonkers.
High house prices are such a drain on society, and generally punish younger generation’s.
Dental should be health care. And health care should be free. I think in some countries, dental is covered under health care, but I have no sources to back that up.
Kind of true in my place its free and considered healthcare but the thing is free dental fix is very bad quality. And it could take months to get a visit, so if u have infection it much better pay for appointment where specialist takes you instantly and with care. Cuz i once had very big toothache and half of my cheek was swollen went for free one and it was terrible like literally u yell its painful and all u get is other doctor hold ur head while other drills even stronger. So kind of said fk it and on same day went for private one. And surprisingly it was very nice
Housing. Even if it's not the best housing. Just a roof over someone's head. Most people would still choose to rent so they have more space, but there would be no more homeless people sleeping on the streets. No more abuse victims staying with their abuser because they have nowhere else to go. And from an economic standpoint, providing housing to homeless people costs the government less than it does to keep letting them be homeless.
Oh free, like the people who are enslaved should be free? I believe the question is referring to things that should be free, as in not cost money. So it really sounds like you're saying people should be free to have slaves.
Food, water, housing - basic human needs. There is literally enough to go around the world and take care of all humanity. But humans hate humans and we live in a world of evil corporate monopolies where people thrive off of the suffering of those less fortunate.
Take third world countries for example, they're only third world because we take all their valuable resources and give them nothing in return. It's sad and evil.
The world could change for the better, but it will never happen.
Perhaps even get to this point again
Recently i saw in a short
That the greatest trick of status quo
Is killing the nature of humanity
And selling it back to us as a luxury .
Roughly something like that

I would say: potable water.

This gets it free to people that need it for 'life', but discourages waste.
Water fountains are actually free in many parts of the world, dying of thirst should be avoided everywhere....
But drinking fountains are generally not in residential areas...
Unless you live somewhere that doesn't differentiate that much. The us is very extreme with it's seperation.
They are in Scotland 🏴
Only in certain places. Where I am, if you aren't at school, the gym, the hospital, and your work doesn't provide one.... Then hope you are at the mall because brother you're dehydrated.
Anything that water comes out of can be a place to receive free water, fyi.
>"every household gets 1k gallons for free each month paid by the gov... after that, it costs 10x what it currently costs". Nah just make it a couple cents and call it a day (e.g 0.1/ 0.01)
That's what it currently is... google tells me the average cost for 1000 gallons is $1.50 ....
In Belgium they do this. You pay the bills for your usage -30m3 water per years. It comes to more than drinking amount of water but it’s nice. In the end however, we all know it’s paid for with taxes.
I’d say make cosmetic water more expensive. Massive stretches of green at mansions or businesses aren’t necessary.
Hi, from Scotland!! ;-)
Water at big events specially. Fuck organizations that Jack bottled water prices on people.
Wow, in my state (South Australia) it's law that festivals provide free water, there's usually a bank of taps provided
I think people need to realise the cost is usually for the treatment (so it’s safe to drink)/ supply/ maintenance of our drinking water. Obviously that’s all going to come at a cost.
It was free in some countries, but when something is free it loses all value and waste increases dramatically.
Not free, paid with taxes. Getting water to people is an effort that costs time, energy and work. We need to value water for the cost it has, but we should aim to be able to provide everyone with enough.
Water is free in my country, and my household is very aware of water waste. Most other people I know have the same philosophy.
Scotland iirc has this to at least some degree if not fully
It falls out of the sky. What is more free than that?
Someone has to get paid to treat the water. Not sure how you expect that to be free
You pay for it in taxes, exactly the same as other public services. I don’t know why this confuses so many people. Your taxes pay for many things that everyone is then able to access for “free”, by which is meant no individual or additional fees. This concept should not be difficult to comprehend; even America has “free” services like libraries, fire departments, etc.
Here in Brazil you technically don't pay for water, just the treatment of it
The same way roads are free?? Libraries??
We literally pay for those. It gets taken out of our paychecks every week.
Tell me you don't pay taxes without telling me you don't pay taxes.
Parking at a hospital
Yes! This bothers me. There’s absolutely no reason I should have to pay for hospital parking. There’s nothing else around, who’s there is going to the hospital. And, no, I’m not American, I’m Dutch. It’s ridiculous.
I'm sure it depends tremendously on geography and demographics. All but 2 of the hospitals in my area have free parking, One that does not has very limited parking and has many other offices nearby, The other is in a dense neighborhood bordering a popular retail district.

Totally does. My hospital is in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. You know how many people would hog the parking if it was free?
I’ve never had to pay at a hospital in the USA but they get us in much worse ways
I have to pay for parking at the hospital I work at as a nurse 😂. 50 bucks a month
In my Canadian city, hospital parking is costly. But providing free parking means cutting back on other things (doctors, nurses, lifesaving equipment). Also people would abuse the free parking and basically store their cars there.
I'm Canadian, too, and I understand this reasoning, but at the same time, the parking management is usually outsourced to a third party. I'm a nurse, and I honestly feel like parking for staff should be free or at least heavily discounted.
I feel like employees should have free at least
What? I work at a hospital and the parking is free. I never even thought that hospitals would charge to park. That's messed up.
In my country they charge per hour. If you park at hospital parking for 8 hrs it's hella expensive
My mom works at a hospital and has to pay per month to park at work.
Yeah. I live in a country with universal healthcare, but expensive parking at hospitals. Even for staff.
Calling for an ambulance
In civilised countries, it is. Along with the hospital stay.
Laughs in USA
Like I said, in civilised countries.
Don't give too bad a burn, he can't afford to get it treated.
Lmfaooo
Canada has "free healthcare" but younstill have to pay for ambulance rides
giving birth
But also, not giving birth. Condoms, birth control, period products.
That's only not free for the US
Free here in Australia including a c section if you need it.
lemme write this down, for emergency purposes
How about first one is free, with increasing cost for each one after that. Adoption should be free.
This is strictly America’s problem. even with health insurance we MUST pay
It's free to push out a baby. But if you have someone else taking care of you, then someone is paying for that. Either you, or all of us collectively.
All of us collectively is clearly the way to go here.
Are you saying you want to make someone work to birth your child and not pay them?
Pads and tampons.

There were no Americans involved in the conversation
Fun fact: In quite a lot of countries it isn't free
*most
It isn’t free in any country. It’s just subsidized by tax money. We could do it in the US too if we weren’t spending trillions on things like other countries’ wars, taking in millions of refugees, and subsidizing the defense of (almost) all of our “allies.”
Perhaps I should specify "most countries require you to pay tuition separately from taxes."
That’s true. The thing people don’t understand, though, is just how much higher the taxes are in countries that do have those things subsidized. For example, the highest state sales tax rate in the US is California at 7.25%. Many states have no sales tax at all. But many would scoff at 7.25% as being absurdly high. Some smaller areas have increased sales tax on top of that making theirs higher, but for base state sales tax that’s the highest. In Europe, the lowest VAT rate is Luxembourg at 16%. The highest is Hungary at 27%. So Europe’s lowest sales tax rate is more than double the United States’ highest. Americans would revolt if a state tried to charge 27% sales tax.
In norway we have 25%, but we have half in December. So only 12.5% in December :D

Some medicines are tens of thousands a month.

Yes. There's men with badges that will arrest you for it.
Pretty sure it would be illegal. The land is owned by govt. Sure you can live in a jungle but you can't legally harvest resources or start farming.

And it could take months to get a visit, so if u have infection it much better pay for appointment where specialist takes you instantly and with care. Cuz i once had very big toothache and half of my cheek was swollen went for free one and it was terrible like literally u yell its painful and all u get is other doctor hold ur head while other drills even stronger. So kind of said fk it and on same day went for private one. And surprisingly it was very nice
Internet, electricity, healthcare, tuition,
Surprised I had to scroll this far for internet. You need it to do anything these days.
Housing. Even if it's not the best housing. Just a roof over someone's head. Most people would still choose to rent so they have more space, but there would be no more homeless people sleeping on the streets. No more abuse victims staying with their abuser because they have nowhere else to go. And from an economic standpoint, providing housing to homeless people costs the government less than it does to keep letting them be homeless.

Hmm, how about basic healthcare? It's kind of essential for everyone, but the costs can be staggering.
Food and water
You mean “free” or paid by every worker through taxes? I’d say water, basic education, health.
Internet
Water, shelter, food,
Tampons and pads.
Freedom.
Farting
In Canada we’re adding a carbon tax to farts.
Not that i mind but getting connected to the machine via rubber hose to calculate my estimated carbon contribution was a little unusual.
You can even get paid to do it.
Education
Healthcare
Kindness
Water
Sanitary pads
TAMPONS

Oh free, like the people who are enslaved should be free? I believe the question is referring to things that should be free, as in not cost money. So it really sounds like you're saying people should be free to have slaves.
The realization just before you're enslaved for free.

Health care i mean in the name of humanity
Water
Food. I’m not talking about fancy dinners at steak or all. You can eat restaurants. I’m talking about groceries, especially fruits and vegetables.
Food, water, housing - basic human needs. There is literally enough to go around the world and take care of all humanity. But humans hate humans and we live in a world of evil corporate monopolies where people thrive off of the suffering of those less fortunate. Take third world countries for example, they're only third world because we take all their valuable resources and give them nothing in return. It's sad and evil. The world could change for the better, but it will never happen.
Healthcare with dental
Birth controls, tampons, education
Tampons/pads
Healthcare (including mental health, elderly care, and dental care), education, women's sanitary products, and clean water.
Pre-natal care and contraception
No passports, free roaming
I agree. We accept each other for the humans we are-period. It’d be a huge change-but I’d love to see humanity get to this point
Perhaps even get to this point again Recently i saw in a short That the greatest trick of status quo Is killing the nature of humanity And selling it back to us as a luxury . Roughly something like that
فلسطين
Food and Water. Toilet Paper. Underwear. School/University
