Well it was never really free to begin with but the original system might have worked much better before immigrants were all attached to it and received care without contributing anything. Aren't their clinics available to people?
Possibly in the bigger cities, but not that I know of. You go to emergency and sit and wait for as long as it takes. It's a horrible system that has gotten worse with age. You cannot find a primary doctor for the life of you. Again, it may be slightly better in the cities, but not by much. Every time I hear an American talking free healthcare I inform them real quick that is not what they want in the US.
