There are not many countries with free-at-point-of-service healthcare. In most cases it's heavily subsidized but still costs money (Japan) or they have a heavily regulated private + public insurance regime (Germany).
China's a good example of de jure vs. de facto differences between what is purportedly offered as opposed to what is actually accessible to Chinese citizens.
