From Redditor u/Mephisto_Faust:
People need this medicine to live. People should not pay for something needed to survive just because they want a big check.

Government ID cards. You need these for almost every daily activity.

From Redditor u/pennylayne77:
All mental health services. If you lack benefits or a great job, these services cost too much. $120-$160 per session weekly is unaffordable for most people now.
9 - 6
From Redditor u/AuntyMarcy:
Public bathrooms! Homeless people have nowhere to relieve themselves, so there are piles of poop everywhere.
5 - 7
From Redditor u/Florencereynolds3:
Hospital parking. Parking garages at public hospitals seem run by private companies; the fees are excessive. This puts huge pressure on stressed people.

From Redditor u/AlexReynard:
Birth control of all kinds.
If you complain about spending taxpayer money, ask if providing condoms costs more than housing prisoners.

From Redditor u/rickmitchel:
Transaction/processing fees when you order a digital product online. For example, you pay 6 euro extra for a concert ticket when you pay online and must print the ticket yourself.

From Redditor u/LaughingJill1201:
Period products. People do not choose to bleed once a month.
Also any type of emergency care or surgery. People should not go into debt over an accident they did not cause.

From Redditor u/Cloudphyre:
Trade school. Paying for a college degree is costly, especially outside community colleges. Free continuing education after high school teaching trade skills should be free. Give people real, applicable skills and basic diplomas because we need manual labor. We need 'unskilled' labor that actually needs skills, not everyone wants a college degree. No one should owe debt for a decent job. Many people do not need a life-consuming career. Offer free preparation for this at no cost, especially as minimum wage jobs increase pay and benefits.

From Redditor u/callmeventibcimavent:
College or at least college applications. If you need it for most careers, make it accessible. It is foolish that people pay to get rejected.

From Redditor u/QualityPuma:
Clothes. Being unclothed should not be an offense if clothes are not free.

From Redditor u/dopey_giraffe:
Subsidize anything that helps the public.
Society forces you to have things like government IDs.
