No it’s not.

Directly would be incredibly expensive per individual. Through taxes it’s collectively paid. That’s the biggest difference.

People reference their healthcare services as « free » because they don’t have to pay out of pocket.

Jeez someone is in for a rude awakening. You collectively all pay a giant sum. You personally pay a one person sized slice of that sum. Then when you go to the hospital you use a one person size slice of that giant sum. That is not a different cost than going to the hospital and paying a one person size slice to them
