The (British) National Health Service came into operation on 4 July 1948.
CommentIt's worth pointing out that the NHS isn't 'free'; we pay for it through our taxes. It is, though, free at the point of use.Yeoman farmer.
After the first world war. People didn't want to fight in the second to come back to nothing. So they were promised the introduction of a National Health Service, where the majority of medical services would become 'free'.
To become free
hernano cortes did become king when he set all of mexico's slaves free from the aztecs. he was king in mexico.
Frederick Douglass was an African-American social reformer and abolitionist. He escaped from slavery to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and became a free man.
The NHS (National Health Service) provides free health care for UK residents regardless of income.
There is not a single country on the planet that offers free health care (taxes are higher in these countries which is how health care can have the essence of being "free" when in reality it's not), what you mean to ask is what countries have socialized health care. All developed countries except the United States offer "free" (it's not really free...) health care.
In England we have the National Health Service which is a free medical system. You have to pay so much monthly, not too much, but overall, it's free. Helped me a couple of times.
Health care in England is paid for by Taxes. Most Americans would baulk at the taxes that Brits pay.CommentActually, we pay less for our National Health Service, through our taxes, than most Americans pay for their health insurance cover. So the cost is not an valid reason for not having a universal health care.

They get free health care
Free health care to the people of England. The NHS since Atlee's Government after WW2 is funded by the treasury and the taxes that people pay.
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.

Congress wins no matter what happens to the health care bill. They have free care... for life.
