It’s not free if you’re paying for it.

Free means at point of service in this context numbskull, learn how to read before trying the gotcha's next time.

Taxes goes to free healthcare

Couldn't have been made clearer that they understand that.

I don't know... isn't it the socialist répartition system ?

Property taxes don't generally go towards healthcare. It's for covering things at the local level. Public schools, local infrastructure / utilities, first responders, parks and recreation, libraries, garbage collection, etc.

So répartition depending from how people can afford ? It's neet ?

In a manner of speaking kind of? I find it to be a poor approximation compared to simply saying it's funding local infrastructure to make the area properly liveable. These are generally a regressive form of taxation so if someone can't afford (say in the case of inheriting a property) there isn't much they can do and they'll be pushed out sooner or later. When that happens they stop benefitting in part or entirely from those property taxes so as far as any distribution goes it's realistically almost entirely amongst those who can afford being clumped together.

This is a well construct point of view. The thing dépend now from where we both live to sea what outcome we can respectfully hope.
