This debunks all of your garbage tiny...I'm having a really tough time following your reasoning here. Your first link is a John Stossel interview. It has nothing to do with Singapore. Stossel is an admirer of health care in Singapore. See this tweet,

As for Singapore and Hong Kong there is a huge difference it the population
in comparison to the US...you seem to have left that out of your discussion.

Stossel made a mistake by the way. Singapore doesn't spend 1/4 less, Singapore spends 3/4 less than we do.
In your second link, Sean Flynn is lauding the health care system in Singapore, non stop.
This is bizarre. It's like you're trying to prove my points.
As to your previous post, see red text below,
You continue with your nonsense...competition...WTF do you think free market Capitalism is!!
A socialist and private system running side-by-side...this must be where pig fly!!
In your link, Stossel said 7 out of every 8 dollars spent on health care in the USA is by government or insurance companies. Do you know how much your last colonoscopy or surgical procedure cost? Do you give any consideration to the price, as long as Medicare or your insurance company is footing the bill? As to the pigs flying part, having public and private options is common - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-tier_healthcare
You don't know anything about me. You are the one that thinks money grows on trees...free shit from obummercare is fucking up a healthcare system that is the best in the world.
You started this by lumping me in with AOC. You linked to a video of her where she was promoting Medicare for all and she was stumped when asked how she was going to pay for it. From your posts you believe everything will be hunky dory with our health care system if we just get rid of Obamacare. Well, if you do that, all is good and well. But how are you going to pay for Medicare and Medicaid in the long term without somehow reforming the health care system? The unfunded liability is north of 40 trillion. It looks like you and AOC both think money grows on trees, it's just a matter of degree.
The billionaires Saudis come here for their healthcare not to the countries you speak so highly of their healthcare.
If it were so great there then the Saudis would go there.
The innovations in healthcare in this country far exceed any other.
You should make your permanent residence in one the countries you have such admiration for their superior healthcare ...you'll live to be the oldest person ever!!
Singapore has maybe around $700 million a year in medical tourism (Saudis, etc. visiting for medical treatment) versus around $1.4 billion in the USA. Singapore's population is about 6 million and the US's is 300 million. Furthermore, a lot more people leave the U.S. seeking treatment in other countries, mainly because of our high health care costs, than come to the U.S. from other countries seeking treatment. We spend over 2X as much going to other countries to seek medical care as what foreigners spend here on medical tourism:

Btw, when it comes to economic freedom, Singapore and Hong Kong rank higher than the USA. I'd love to emigrate to either if Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren becomes president, but it's hard to get in.
