I already answered your question, which by the way you did not ask in your original post. Yes of course it is possible for a country to have reasonable economic freedom IN SPITE OF something like national health care. Assuming a country has reasonable laws and regulations that support economic freedom in the other areas that make up Heritage's criteria then all is well. But if you think the U.S. will be anything but less economically free once Obamacare is fully implemented you are sadly and irrationally mistaken. I suspect we will drop out of the top ten because of that and other leftist laws and regulations that are hampering our economy.

It is also possible and in fact easier to have economic freedom without it because it is the antithesis of freedom. It is government coercion forcing its citizens to either buy a product or receive health care through the government. And it is also true that the most economically repressive governments also have nationalized health care. Ergo, there is no direct correlation and the author draws a pointless, illogical and unrelated conclusion. If you cannot see the fallacy of the entire argument you have truly been failed by your education.
