Health care in England is paid for by Taxes.

Why are Americans so against free health care?

Free? It is anything but free. Nothing is free. The people complaining about 'free health care' are the ones that will actually pay for it with their taxes, which will go up because of the additional burden. If you would inform yourself about the topic you will find there is nothing free about health care. You will be forced to PURCHASE insurance or be fined up to $4,800. Look at Great Britain, their "free" health care is consuming the economy.
