Apparently not.  Did Heritage say that there was a direct correlation between these free economies and nationalized health care?  I don't think so but if you can find the quote please provide it. You see Archie, unlike you and the author trying to make correlations that are ancillary and unrelated I actually belong to the Heritage Foundation.  And they are staunch opponents to nationalized health care or socialized medicine.

My salient and intellectually valid point is that there is no direct positive correlation between national health care and economic freedom.  If you actually look at their criteria it includes the following:  1) Business Freedom; 2) Trade Freedom; 3) Fiscal Freedom; 4) Government Spending; 5) Monetary Freedom; 6) Investment Freedom; 8) Financial Freedom and 9) Property rights.  They define economic freedom as the right of individuals to control his or her own labor and property.  

Of all these criteria it is patently obvious that nationalized health care is but one factor and would actually be detrimental to economic freedom.  But obviously the overall score from all the criteria can overcome that negative attribute.  It should also be noted that there are almost 180 countries on the list, of which the vast majority are ranked below the U.S. in terms of economic freedom, many of which have nationalized health care.  Hence, the lack of correlation between the two issues.

But let's examine this another way.  Do you know the worst countries in the index?  Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Cuba and North Korea.  Do you realize that all those countries have nationalized health care?  And all of the ten worst countries either have some form of nationalized health care or are so corrupt and poorly run that their health care systems are a shambles.

So you see Archie, not only did you commit the logical fallacy but you apparently are too obtuse to even understand what it meant and unintentionally doubled down.  Not very smart......
