All the Chinese public hospitals are about long waits, giving red envelopes to your doctors, overprescribing antibiotics and IV drips, and scammy Chinese medicine.
I have private insurance; the hospitals are way better but the prices make the USA look cheap.
Put it this way: USA has first world health care problems, china has developing world health care problems. If you want cheap quality medical tourism, try Thailand.

As one might expect of countries that are first world and developing world, respectively. When people complain about the US healthcare system, the implicit comparison is probably other first world countries.
