Fun fact:
In China, people are expected to pre-pay for treatments, including emergency treatments. Its actually a common trope in TV/Movies where a poor person is dying and unable to afford an expensive emergency surgery, and call a rich relative/friend that they haven't talked to for years to pay for them.
Well looks like the US is heading the way there.
Forget about it, the person's pro-western Chinese diaspora who believes their parents' right-wing propaganda comes from le ebil mainland, rather than inside
Well you see, if the US is doing something completely evil and indefensible then the only fallback for the American exceptionalism-poisoned western mind is to immediately declare that everywhere else is even worse! Otherwise we wouldn't live in the Greatest Country on Earth(tm), and that's impossible no matter how much our lying eyes say otherwise.
Now, with such policy, as long as medical costs stay low and medical facilities improve, with more investment, surely there should be some improvement (after all, we all live in first-class countries, unlike China or Russia)
