but it is free, because currently the public expendture on health is 1.5 Tn $.
which is ~5000 per person per year.
enough to cover everyone (if you weed out the insurance companies, and the price gouging)

It has a cost, that cost is paid for by tax dollars, taxes are paid by all citizens in one way or another.
That's not what free means.

yes, but since the amount currently paid is enough to cover everyone, there would be no additional charge.
in fact most people might be able to negotiate a pay raise if the employers are about to save 1.5 TN in health insurance coverage

you are already paying for it, just not getting it
