No, this is not a joke! As part of my medically-imposed vacation, I have been reading a bit about various healthcare systems, and someone sent me some info about Singapore's. They actually have one of the best. I was just about to respond to the spammer's thread, but when I hit "submit", the original post was deleted. So I am putting it here...please don't delete me!
Singapore is an independent country, not part of the PRC.
They actually have an extremely efficient, cost effective health care system. It is consistently ranked highly (far higher than the US), costs much less, and covers a greater percentage of the population than our own. It does so with a mix of public and private systems that we might be smart to model.
Just take a look
at the Wikipedia page. Imagine if you could describe our whole system, including the entire description of "means testing" on a page or two.
If xierdaxinxi was trying to sell us a healthcare system, rather than almonds and eggs, I might be interested in buying.
