    But then neither does China. Is what I’m saying.

    By the Chinese definition of it, it’s very close.

    In 2024, approximately 92.0% of Americans had health insurance for some or all of the year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau

    For China it was 95%

    Neither country gives you free insurance unless you’re old or poor enough.

      Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don’t make me laugh any harder than you already have it I’ll need to go see a doctor for free.

        I’m Estonian, I unfortunately can’t say it’s free, as it costs 5 euros per visit for ER and specialty doctors and 2.50 per night stayed in hospital if you have surgery or something.

    I think you’re unfamiliar with at least one of the two systems then because they’re described as pretty similar by people who have lived in both countries. Both are pay 2 play, American one is just more expensive.

        Lol ok. Fact is, they have nearly the same coverage and both achieve it through private insurance usually paid by the employer - China just has a few more extra groups that get their equivalent of Medicare and Medicaid, but that’s it.
