‘Free’ in this context can usually be taken to mean ‘no cost to the user at point-of-service’.
There’re plenty of things the US could do to lower the cost of healthcare to the point where where universal healthcare becomes practical and no (or only minor) tax increase would be needed.
I know this because literally every other developed country in the world has managed to do it.

How much R&D, testing, manufacturing (including infrastructure), man hours do other developed country in the world contribute to developing their health care they provide so inexpensively? It's quite a bit less, often next to none compared to the US. This is more complicated than most think.
Not saying that the US does not have flaws with the system but I think it's more complicated and complex than stating 'compare the end consumer prices of other countries'.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
