When you have 1 billion people, even pennies on healthcare is an issue.

however, I've seen this type of argument being used before and I was in a lecture where it was brought into perspective when costs of outsourcing was assessed and we had this factor to deal with:

People give identical statements as yours, but when we're talking about a particular company or product, all that matters is how many employees the company is using. So let's say in a pentax production run, they might need a total of 300 employees. All that matters is how much healthcare costs are being saved on those 300 workers being over there as opposed to being over here. So a moderate rise in insurance costs is still pitiful and not real health insurance, but still saves massively over having someone employed in different countries, such as Japan.

I never said it wasn't cheaper in China.
