Many of the arguments articulated by proponents of government-funded healthcare could, morally, be used to defend a "universal" higher education system. Please note that I am not attempting a "gotcha" thread. I would find a debate on this interesting.

Think of how many brilliant minds have been prevented from going to college because we have decided to subject it to the free-market price system. Why should your income determine whether or not you go to college? In most Euro nations, college is almost completely free or students pay a paltry tuition.

What is the difference between being coerced by free market higher education and being coerced by government? At least the latter doesn't restrict access.

Can't get much more inefficient than it is now. Why should someone with a brilliant mind live a  blue-collar life because of his parents' financial situation?
