My former friend in Finland finished med school, "for free", while living in a really nice apartment "for free", receiving ADHD medications "for free", and then went to a business school "for free". He has not worked a single day in his life and he is in his very late 20s.

Your former friend is leaving something out from that story: family financial support. Working class kids rarely go to med school and business school.
Besides, it is not possible to finish med school without working a couple years as an intern.

Apart from the free appartment, that's the same as most countries in Europe.

It is or it’s heavily subsidized and what you pay for is the admin costs typically, which end up <$1000/year.

I got downvoted, and you replied this... when tuition is not free in most European countries, at least not for higher education. In my country, med school used to cost over $18k, which is probably higher now.
Also the very hidden caveat of low or no tuition fee in some other countries is that you study in their language, not English.
