Egypt
The ancient Egyptians invented many things that we still use today, but one of the most surprising is a state-wide health service for workers employed on the kings tombs.
Evidence of days off and sick notes have been found, and the workers were even given houses for their families and servants to do the chores! And all this more than 3,000 years ago!
Besides a NHS with free health care, the only thing we get from the state is grief! 🙂
