      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 or 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.
