Capitalism is the private ownership of goods and services and the free and voluntary exchange of those said goods and services. When you make any good or service universal you are increasing the costs of said good or service by rationing it and ultimately paving the way for longer waiting periods and shortages. Universal free anything tramples on the rights of the person that happens to be providing the good or service as youre essentially forcing them to provide a good or service at their expense to an unlimited amount of people with their limited finite amount of resources. It also makes the industry they work in an undesirable one that will have less people trying to pursue that career path. So not only are you going to get rationing and shortages, youre also gonna get a continued decline of quality as less people wanna strive for a career in that industry. Scarcity doesnt cease to exist simply because your preferred politician got elected.
