Universities jack up their rates without hesitation or worry because the government money machine keeps giving students whatever they need. So how is making it all free going to drive down the cost? Same with Medicare for all with medical costs. You signal that you're going to cover all costs regardless and you remove whatever slim incentive there was to keeping costs down. Tuitions and drug prices will skyrocket and why not? The government will pay whatever you charge. You want to see prices come down? Remove ALL government funding, subsidies and everything else and make the bastards compete. When they no longer have the government teat to suckle on and they actually have to compete for students, you'll damned soon see a big change in rates!
