      "If they’re in a position to be able to offer you personalized, effective, low-cost health care, would we be in a position to say, ‘no I don’t think so.’” Imagine fearing health care this much.https://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/1356037082037235713 …

          I didn’t see the segment but is it more that we as individuals would be reliant on a foreign country to do provide something the United States should provide for its own people?

          There's a real danger though that the purpose of such a move would just siphon personal health data back to China, and I certainly wouldn't want that. But all I see here is the usual American pigheadedness about being Number One while doing nothing whatsoever to justify it.

          Also, imposing addictive drugs on other countries is something we westerners would never do, of course.

          If you actually listen to what he says...The fear is not the healthcare. The fear is the CCP acquiring such massive amounts of data, and that that would help China achieve AI dominance. He's right.
