In Poland we've got free public healthcare, free education (including college education), and they all suck.
Since they're being financed from public money, everything is cheap, education (especially higher education) is not about getting people to learn things, but to pass the biggest number of people so the school gets more money, you have to register like half a year before you get an endoscopy, not to mention anything more serious.
Higher education is, by its own definition, not for everyone. If everyone can afford it (when it's free of charge), it's going to be abused and it'll greatly degrade in quality of teaching.

That has to do with the country you're in, not with the fact that they're free. Healthcare is a necessity. Education is a necessity. Taking away these freedoms puts even more power in the hands of the rich.
If everyone can afford higher education it only means more people will be have access to it. Why restrict it on the basis of "you're poor and you should stay poor"? It's not like anyone can be accepted anywhere. Good universities don't accept stupid people.
And free healthcare is 100% necessary. But no, you're poor, you should die, fuck you for being poor am I right?
