The framing of this sort of thing is interesting, it’s always treating the extremely fucked up conditions in the west as the default, as normal, and anything straying from that is some form of “temptation.”
yeah, that’s a good point, like you shouldn’t be expecting these kinds of things as a norm and that they couldn’t possibly be sustainable, it’s just con
how dare the devil tempt us from our righteous suffering?
Feels like every foreign program from a western country involves bombs or, if you’re lucky, privatising and owning your entire economy to ensure your eternal poverty.
While every foreign program from every socialist country is cheap healthcare, collaborative infrastructure or free hospitals
So what’s the “catch” then? You only use a “lure” on something you intend to “capture” right? So what’s the trap exactly?
the trap is that they’ll be addicted to functioning social programs but since they’re in china, they won’t be able to blossom into a billionaire pedophile with their own sex island, as is the dream of every american innovationist.
You can check in, but you can never leave. Welcome to Hospital Chinafornia.
China is going to get them “hooked” on high-quality, affordable healthcare.
Then China will introduce them to harder drugs like housing and food. Once they’re hooked they might even decide to have a family and then BAM! You’ve got a literal incubator for Communism.
the evil see see pee is tricking people into thinking that communism is good by healing them, it’s all a long con you see

My five year plan is to save up enough money and visit their special medical tourism economic zone so I can get my first physical in decades. #americandream
if this is unironic look into spain and cuba. probably cheaper to get to and both well known destinations for medical tourism
side note the fact that the term medical tourism exists in common parlance is an indication that the entire society i live in needs to be burned down and rebuilt from the foundations. lovely thoughts on this sunday afternoon
Medical tourism to Spain is hilarious to me as a Spaniard because getting an appointment with a specialist here is fucked up as shit. Waiting times to be seen by a specialist are often 6+ months, except for urgency procedures (and many times even then).
CW: fucked up medical shit and cancer
There has been a recent medical scandal where over 2000 women weren’t given the results of their mammograms, many of them with cancer, due to gross underfunding with a sprinkle of negligence and misogyny. I wonder how many fucking people have to die before people realize that this kind of shit is not tolerable
Don’t get me wrong, by all means come to Spain to get treatment if that’s an option for you, the fault in our system is not medical tourism but intentional lack of funding. Private healthcare is skyrocketing here, as was the goal all along. I fucking hate it.
Not ironic, but I’d also like to visit China. Thanks for the info tho. I’ll keep that in mind if I ever have the money for it.
So you can go to China and get better treatment at a lower cost? Sounds like free market economics to me. Maybe the west should try to compete
Without slave labor?!
The west can’t even complete with slave labour.
