I call BS on this statement. And German healthcare isn’t even free.

Of course. And historically, US health care costs rose at about the rate of inflation until the late 1960s, where the curve tilted strongly upwards at a much higher rate, and continues today.

What happened in the late 1960s? The advent of "free" healthcare!

Which free health care caused US healthcare to get so expensive?

Free healthcare was part of LBJ's "Great Society".
