I don't think either is practical. Among other reasons regarding either policy individually, most of our positive developments in practicability have been towards decentralized control rather than centralized control of industries e.g. the Internet providing a platform for a greater diversity of companies. Many of our negative developments in practicability have been towards centralization e.g. monopolistic malpractice. Thus, the centralized elements of both of these policies concern me.
I also don't think it works on an idealogical level. As long as there is scarcity in any industry, the goods of that industry cannot be made free. If a good loses all of its scarcity, it would become a right and I would support making it free. For now, though, we are far from a post-scarcity economy in any respect, most certainly in regard to healthcare and money itself.
