I simply looked at the map posted. China provides some form of national health care, but so what! If what my friend says is true, and he has never given me a reason to doubt him, generally people not connected in China have very little in the form of medical care compared to what we get here, even the uninsured. In most non-urban areas of China any form of professional medicare care is rare. In Africa the same is true. So, connecting the two - does national health care really matter, if there are no doctors, no facilities, no medicine, etc.?
I think in the US we confuse access to medical care with health insurance.
