Nothing is free.

I believe we need to give an exact definition of "free". As we say: "бесплатным бывает только сыр в мышеловке" (only a cheese in a mousetrap is free).
So let's consider that free is when you don't have to pay for the ambulance/tests/clinic/meds/surgery/treatment directly out of your pocket. Everything is being payed by your government from various sources, including taxes (your own and those paid by others) and other types of the state income. Say your country sells weapons, food, oil, gas etc. When the country sells something, it makes the profit which must be used to support its own citizens (pensions, medicine, education, infrastructure, free housing for those who can't afford it etc). Isn't it?
