You realize foreigners (e.g. students, people on work visas) get shitty ass insurance that is nowhere near as good as the national insurance right? When people talk about how great China’s healthcare is they are basically hoping to go there and get some of that, but the truth is that you can’t. Even for citizens, there are plenty of stories of people struggling to pay medical bills and drug bills. The Chinese gov has even greenlit movies that highlight these issues.

When people talk about how great China’s healthcare is they are basically lamenting that they don’t have it in their own country, and pointing out that it is achievable with the right kind of government and educated public.
And foreigners get shitty insurance because their health is not China’s responsibility, it’s the responsibility of a foreigner’s own government.
