Doesn’t America also have near universal healthcare then

Lol wut. Not even remotely.

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.
