Claim 4: “Look at our health sector: despite the increasing numbers, services remain free.”

MISLEADING

While evidence suggests that state health services are provided 'free of charge', it also notes that monetary and time costs of travel pose significant barriers, and that many cannot afford private healthcare, making the claim that services 'remain free' a simplification of the actual accessibility.
