He doesn't provide free healthcare. They provide it to some people, but most Americans pay thousands of dollars a year in insurance premiums.

A couple of years ago, more bankruptcies were caused by healthcare costs than any other reason in the US. That was in a global meltdown. I don't know how those figures stack up today, but I'd guess they'd still be pretty similar.

The right wing in America even held up a bill to provide ongoing healthcare to the first responders on 9/11. People who are dying because of the toxic environment they faced on that day.

Nothing is free in America. Even basic human rights and dignity.
