Of the 201 countries listed on Wikipedia, 159 have free healthcare[1]. There are only 42 that don't, which includes the US obviously.

Every country offers free education up to at least primary school, with most offering free education up to 16 years old. There are currently 24 countries that offer free education up to degree level for their citizens.

I have no idea what makes you think healthcare and education isn't free around the world. They are free in far more places than not.

There are also a few cities (e.g. San Francisco) and states (e.g. New York) which offer free college or university level education.
