Neither education or health care are 'free'. Someone has to pay for it. If, as I suspect, you believe it's possible to impose tax rates which would enable 'free' care for everyone then say so (it would be nice if you could flesh out the details!) but don't suggest that these services are free. You could add 'free at the point of service'.

> You could add 'free at the point of service'. Do you really think there's someone out there who wouldn't be aware of this fact without that added clarification?

  Do you likewise think anyone is unaware that education incurs costs?

Stop this rethoric. When something is "free", it's always means free (of charge) for the recipient, and it's always enabled by something else. It's a matter of choice (hence the taxes, hence the politics), of governance, of sight. Now, if you believe free healthcare and education for everyone does not benefit the society as a whole, then say so (and flesh out the historical facts that support your view).
