Free Spanish healthcare to be reinstated by new Government?

An interesting extract my wife picked out from this week's "Eye on Spain":

https://www.eyeonspain.com/blogs/spainnews/18364/government-to-make-healthcare-free-and-universal-again-within-six-weeks.aspx

Of course, Mr. Sánchez’s tenure could be short-lived as his Socialist party has only a quarter of the seats in Parliament, which could lead to new national elections. But if they are able to reinstate access to free Spanish healthcare for all, it will be interesting to see how this translates into Residencia applications. Will foreigners who aren't entitled to reciprocal healthcare via their country of origin still be required to prove they have private health care in place in Spain? If I had plans to apply for my Residencia this year, I'd be watching how this report develops.......

Once word gets out i expect Spain will be the next Greece or Italy to be hit with non stop illegal immigration.

And taxes to rise dramatically in order to pay for it.
