Iirc He wasn’t lost. Somebody told the authorities, that the guy was missing and that he wanted to go on a hike. So they called him to see if he really was lost. He didn’t answer the call, so they presumed he was injured or lost his phone. With this information they declared him lost and started a search.

Free Healthcare is a broad term for dozens of different policies in dozens of different countries. Just because OP’s specific country has problems, doesn’t mean that every single implementation of free healthcare leads to bad healthcare. Also a similar rhetoric is used as a dog whistle by the far right in the USA.
Additionally they are using a specific question about their situation, to rant about a much broader topic. This soapboxing called behaviour is generally frowned upon.
So the comment in isolation is wrong, attention seeking & looks like written by someone who is something between a manchild, that is unable/unwilling to present a nuanced opinion, and a nazi. All of which are imho criteria for a downvote.
I looked up a full article.

He did lose his trail, but wasn’t at the point where he wanted to call for help. It looks like he wasn’t aware that, if a lodge host at popular hiking spots asks about your plans for the day, it isn’t just small talk.
