True 9/10
“Francisco Franco's government expanded and improved Spain's road infrastructure.”
The historical record supports the claim in broad terms. Spain’s road infrastructure did expand and improve under Franco, above all during the post-1959 developmental period tied to industrialization and tourism. The main caveat is that the largest buildout of the modern motorway network came after Franco, so the claim should not be read as crediting his regime with most of today’s system.

Mostly True 8/10
“Francisco Franco's government expanded healthcare provision in Spain.”
The evidence shows a real expansion of state-organized healthcare under Franco, especially through compulsory sickness insurance in 1942 and the 1963 Social Security reforms. But the expansion was partial: coverage remained incomplete, occupationally based, and uneven across regions, especially in rural Spain. The claim is broadly accurate, but it should not be read as meaning universal or adequately funded healthcare was achieved.
