If a country doesn't have free healthcare, its clear as day that the people do not rule there

No, the People might just be stupid. You see, many people are gullible and get convinced easily by rallies of some rich politicians. Sometimes, they might even believe that one day they will be as rich as them, and so they see something good for the rich as something good for them. But, unless the people are threatened to vote, or the polls are manipulated, it's still democracy

Democracy is when voters are undereducated and lied to by politicians in order to vote against their own interests, and not democracy is when voters are directly threatened. You are very smat.
