Health care in England is paid for by Taxes. Most Americans would baulk at the taxes that Brits pay.
CommentActually, we pay less for our National Health Service, through our taxes, than most Americans pay for their health insurance cover. So the cost is not an valid reason for not having a universal health care.
There is not a single country on the planet that offers free health care (taxes are higher in these countries which is how health care can have the essence of being "free" when in reality it's not), what you mean to ask is what countries have socialized health care. All developed countries except the United States offer "free" (it's not really free...) health care.
the united states
The old adage, 'there's no such thing as free', really does apply to health care. Medicaid is the national system of free health care. It is run by the states, which means that there are different qualifications state by state. Some states are more generous than others. Some states have found ways to extend free health care to more people, mainly children and pregnant women. A few states let low wage earners buy in at a pro-rated cost. Many consumers find that it is more expensive NOT to have health insurance. It's worth the cost to protect your family.

No. Antibiotics are generally not free in any of the United States. Unlike most of the civilized world, the US does not provide free basic health care for our citizens.
Free? It is anything but free. Nothing is free. The people complaining about 'free health care' are the ones that will actually pay for it with their taxes, which will go up because of the additional burden. If you would inform yourself about the topic you will find there is nothing free about health care. You will be forced to PURCHASE insurance or be fined up to $4,800. Look at Great Britain, their "free" health care is consuming the economy.
We shouldn't!!!!!!!!!!! It is absolutely not what the founders would have wanted and pushes the power of the federal government beyond the limits of the Constitution. Many countries have free health care systems and social security systems that surpass anything the United States has by far. I guess whether the United States should have free health care comes down to whether you want to view the United States as a country, or as the sum of the American people. As a country, any free health care system is going to produce financial burdens. However, looking at the American people, you really need to ask how affordable is health care to the average American? Is allowing someone to suffer against basic human rights?
Free condoms are available from some health care providers and clinics. Planned Parenthood provides free condoms for its patients and have clinics across the United States and Canada. Additionally, many college health clinics provide free condoms.
"Some of the affordable options for Health Care Coverage in the United States are AARP, Medicare, Medicade, and United Health Care Services Organization."
