      How could they possibly be different. If it’s not free, then it’s not universal because it doesn’t include the destitute.

        China is labeled as “Universal Healthcare” but its not “free”. They have a system equivalent to the US’s “ACA”, most people purchase insurance through employers. Unemployed people have no insurance. Its not “free”. And insurance doesn’t cover a lot of things, just like in the USA.

        I know because my parents regularly call our relative in mainland China over wechat, and I just asked my dad today because of a discussion on another Lemmy thread.

          Seems like a drastic mislabeling if their “universal” care is the same as the US. That’s like saying we have universal thousand dollar bank accounts. Sure, everyone can get one. You just need to get the $1k first.

      Cool. I’ll be sure and be way more specific and accurate when I make my next glib comment on the internet.
