As a university student get my health care for free, dental work costs me about 30€. If you have to wait over three months to see a health care professional, you can go privately and the Social Insurance Institution will pay the excess.
There's no such thing as a free government program. The funding is taken from the population by force.
Free market friendly societies were more cost efficient. And what evidence do you have to show the socialist healthcare program has actually made people healthier? that's the goal is it not?

Irrelevent. Government forced roads upon us, if our world existed without governments, the world's economic system would be completely different. Free market entities only use roads because they are there.
Plus the government takes approximately half the earnings of every citizen, are you saying a free way is more profitable than literally half the earnings of everyone USA?
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
