alt Hacker NewsNot a single soul on earth thinks single payer healthcare is free. 8 billion people, not one of them thinks it.
They mean “free to the consumer at time of service”, which it is. Nobody is lying, everyone agrees, it’s just you who doesn’t understand.

You are incredibly optimistic about a large swath of the population's understanding, unfortunately.

There are plenty of people in this discussion making statements of fact that are false. Call it whatever you want.

The vast majority of those 8 billion people do not have single payer healthcare. A lot of Americans get confused on this, because we're the only country in the Anglosphere that doesn't do single payer, but it's far from universal globally.
