there is no such thing as free healthcare, someone has to pay for it...
You don't have to pay for healthcare is the justification I believe.

You are describing universal health care.
That tells you you should give money, not healthcare. Its a very different proposition!
Unless you're in a country with a proper social healthcare system anyway...
He doesn't get free healthcare, he gets socialized healthcare that he pays for with taxes. It's not a gift out of magic, it's a political and economical choice.
