You always pay. By tax blackmailing, for example.
The US systems problem is that it is hilariously expensive and underperforming. The German system is better in practical implementation and very much better in cost-effect efficiency, but costs the tax payer less than half. The US system is better in research and development, universities, has more big names involved, but regarding costs it is up and away. The German system is expensive and costs are gallopping, like everywhere, but the US systems costs are desastrous.

Okay, lets not play on words like 'free'
There is no charge in the UK for the individual at point of contact, services having already been paid for by government grants which are derived from income tax derived from companies and individuals, a great many people in the UK don't even pay any.
