No, it's because of a political decision. In the UK, you get healthcare regardless of your employment status or insurance cover.
You don't get somewhere to live without a source of income, and our benefits system is being systematically shredded by a government ideologically opposed to the very concept (currently campaigning for tomorrow's election on a variety of lovely talking points like "poor people are just stupider" and "disabled people shouldn't have to be paid the minimum wage because they don't understand money"), but for the time being at least we have healthcare for all paid for by general taxation.
We should have housing and food for all as well, but I'm not sure anybody's seriously looked into how to do that.
