Chinese social media users have mocked Donald Trump with an AI-generated video showing overweight Americans working in factories.

A viral 30-second clip shows a series of miserable-looking rotund Americans slowly sewing garments and building smartphones on crowded shop floors.

The video, which is set to Chinese music, is called “make America great again” and has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.

    Healthcare IIRC is free in China. I am not sure whether something changed or not but it was free of cost.

        In US you have to pay tax as well as pay extra for insurance. The insurance is not a full insurance as well. There is copay and a certain value below which insurance does not even start. Its a scam.

          And the insurance can boot you off, or refuse to cover you if you’re too expensive.

          So if you got cancer, and had to spend a million dollars to treat it, your insurance could just go “okay, your treatment is too expensive, we’re not covering that, you’ll have to pay for this yourself”.

          It used to be worse. Many years ago, they could outright decide not to cover some medical conditions of yours, deeming them to be “pre-existing”. So if you had diabetes, sorry, that’s a pre-existing condition. We don’t cover those.

          Nail in the coffin is that Americans spend more money on healthcare, per capita, than most other countries, without marked improvement in care/outcomes.

        And do you not realize that the private insurance you pay for also pays for others insurance, if others don’t pay their insurance money your premiums go up to compensate for it
