According to a friend who is married to a Chinese woman and visits China
often, I'm told China actually has decent cheap healthcare (though he tells me
Japan's heatlhcare system is better still).

I knew of Taiwan's healthcare system being one of the best but I knew nothing
about Singapore's until I asked Grok and did a little research.  I know that
Singapore is one of the most expensive places in the world to live in but
there's tradeoffs for paying out the nose.

I have a Danish friend who tells me that the healthcare system is very good
but they pay a 50% VAT on everything for that.  He says that Denmark is a
socialist country but it works for them.

Me?  I'm very grateful that I have the insurance I do else I'd have been dead
years ago (and I say that sincerely).
