It really is irrelevant. A state (or Puerto Rico) calling itself a "commonwealth" is like a country calling itself a "People's Democratic Republic": the mere fact of calling it that gives the lie to itself!
It has no constitutional or sovereign significance whatsoever. (All states are sovereign subordinate entities of the federal whole; territories are not; Indian tribes are.)

Yes,of course nothing is free in this world. However, in the UK if you are unemployed or unable to work ( and therefore unable to pay taxes) you are still entitled to the same quality of health care as the richest person in the land. Of course, the wealthy can pay for private health care and will possibly be treated quicker than those in National Health hospitals but in the end, they will probably all be treated by the same specialists and surgeons. I had two cataract operations carried out. The first was done privately as I considered it to be urgent but it was very expensive. The second was performed on the NHS. It was done in the same operating theatre in the same hospital and by the same ophthalmologist as the first. The only difference was the wait of a few months. I don't know how the medical insurance schemes operate in the US but in Britain the premiums increase as you get older (when you will need their services more) and there are certain conditions that they do not cover. The National Health service isn't perfect, many of the complaints are that it employs too many managers and insufficient nursing staff, but I prefer the system to the service that I found in America. When I had to be treated for a minor injury in Florida, almost the first question was "how will you be paying?" Some years ago we had visitors from America staying with us and he awoke one morning with severe pains in his arm. I took him to my GP's surgery and explained that he was a visitor. The doctor examined him and diagnosed the problem, which wasn't serious, and prescribed some painkillers which were supplied by the "in-house" pharmacy. When my friend asked how much he had to pay he was told there would be no charge. My wife suffered from terminal cancer for the last eighteen months of her life and was only kept alive by blood transfusions at our local hospital most weeks and she had visits from nurses and doctors at home over that period and received large quantities of drugs but none of this had to be paid for at the time. We know that over our working lives we paid out quite a lot of money in taxes but, at the end, we considered it money well spent. I am certainly not a socialist but I know which system I prefer
