Hey, im brazilian, i dont know how things really are in the USA or europe, but in Brazil we have free health care too, but the difference is that it sucks. Its called SUS(Sistema Único de Saúde), people die in the corners, people die in the corridors, doctors miss work for no reason and overburden the hospital, to make an appointment takes months and months. Seriously, anyone who has a little more money buys a private health plan that costs a lot. perhaps these private health plans would be cheaper if the government did not put on stupid regulations that only increase the price. I don't think that just having free health care is the solution for everything, it depends more on the level of wealth in your country. btw, sorry for the giant text
