Yeah, if you think "free" means paying taxes for healthcare even if you never get sick.

I would rather pay that to the government as taxes than as premiums and deductibles to some record-profit-making-rich-ass-HMO who will try to [censored] me in the ass every chance they get.

When I needed surgery in Canada, I went to emerg, got seen by a surgeon within 30min, and had surgery an hour later. I was treated great for the week in recovery and never had to pay a cent the whole time.

Slightly higher income tax is worth it if you don't ever have to worry about being wiped out financially by a serious illness.
