Alternatives with no or minimal tuition exist and while flawed the flaws of those systems (like the German one for example) are exacerbated by attempts to hybridize them and push them towards the market model.

I understand that a lot of higher education on the continent is fully public and state run and works reasonably well, but at the same time I am also aware that if the conversion of the US system to something like the French or German system were done, it might well mean...
...shifting the US system to a comparable scale of investment with those systems, on a per capita basis, which would entail pretty vast institutional destruction as the very large US system downscales to per capita research parity with the EU.

It might also entail a reduction in teaching capacity too. Going by the OECD data, tertiary educational attainment in the USA is 44%; cf. 32% in France and 27% in Germany. The UK is 42%. The marketized systems have problems for sure! but they also appear to have wider reach.

Not saying that means the idea is bad, but it brings me back to the need for a pretty massive public relations campaign to build popular support for *much* larger public expenditures in education if the US system is to be nationalized without a massive contraction in size.
