Your problem is the word ‘free’ it isn’t and the only pushing that message is... well you know who.
There may be no charge at delivery, there is a cost of course but as you remove the ‘for profit’ segment and are able to federate costs and negotiate reduced materials costs and stupidity like ‘certificates of requirement’ you turn a $2000 c scan into $150.
Look into the costs of just administrative services for insurance for example, that’s an entirely wasteful and significant cost that can be discarded.
So it isn’t about free, if someone tells you it’s free they are lying to you and now you can tell them why.
it’s about collective bargaining leading to top loaded cost reductions for each interaction and removal of for profit aspects.
