There are downsides to "free" healthcare, because demand can skyrocket. Austrians a decade ago opposed even having a doctor co-pay of $10~$20, even though AU's cost was ballooning out of control.
Canada has a massive increase of medical assisted suicide (MAID) for people who don't need it.
A socialized system also increases control by the State. You want health care? Take this government mandated drug. Oh you're not taking the drug? Well no health care, maybe even no food.
The American system is not great. It has a lot of problems. But it does tie healthcare to adding value to society (employment). The trouble with "free" healthcare is the doctors and treatments cost money ... so you are paying for it; everyone is. You just don't see the costs because it's in your taxes.
