  It’s a bit different from the states, rather than big deductibles and no caps, you have small deductibles and lowish caps. So if you break a leg, things are very affordable, but you are quickly on your own if you get cancer.

    Of course there are differences, but I think the main takeway is that the variation within each country (and over time -- ACA is new and not necessarily going to stay stable long term) is larger than the difference between the countries. ACA hasn't ended medical bankruptcy.

      In China there is no such thing as medical bankruptcy, because they make you pay up before treatment, they don’t send you a bill. It’s just one of those things that distinguish between developed world and developing world healthcare.
