Yes you’re right, this is obvious trolling by OP.

I pay $0 to go to the hospital in my country. It’s sad the people in China and America have to pay for healthcare.

Tell us, oh troll, how much do people in China pay for their healthcare.

Depends are they using private insurance? That’s pretty popular in China these days but it will jack the price up even more. But all insurance there will cover 79%, so it’ll cost whatever the 30% remaining is.

There’s a whole host of factors as you can tell, safe to say it’s above $0.

HMU when you want to learn more about the Chinese paid healthcare model instead of trolling.

Cost of treatment is effectively free in China even without insurance, but do go on there champ. If you spent the time to learn about Chinese healthcare then you wouldn't be making a clown of yourself here.

Remember that you don’t really pay $0. That money comes from taxes, which generally you’re paying. However, those taxes are vastly cheaper than how much healthcare costs in the states.

It is and they have a lot of progress to make. Nobody thinks any socialist project is a utopia.

In any case, you don't understand how the idea of paying less than a thousand dollars for a month long hospital stay is mindboggling to Americans. Like that's "You're declaring bankruptcy" expensive here.
