Correct.

Generally in China you buy your way into a hospital bed if it's busy.

And "Big Sickness" (the Chinese term for cancer and heart surgery) ruins family finances, similar to the USA.



Jeeze dude. There are millions of Americans who weather cancer and heart surgery just fine without ruining their finances.


By putting whatever they’ve got left in an offshore trust and declaring bankruptcy?


No, by hitting their out of pocket max and having insurance pay the rest.

By your same logic, everyone who has a baby in the US must be ruined financially as well?
