Probably right there. They've been talking about compulsory health insurance for many years prior to COVID anyway.

It's often talked about as if it is. It's part of MENA (Middle East/North Africa). It's also a majority Arab/Muslim country. Could probably say the same of Egypt and Libya.

It was only 10 years ago that Bangkok Bank wouldn't transfer my rent monthly because the receiving bank was Thanachart Bank rather than BBL. I used to take 2 month's rent in cash and pay it into the account at Thanachart..

I didn't know that. I've worked in Saudi, Bahrain, Oman, Iraq, Algeria. And there was me thinking that only Saudi was in the ME. Many people think that all of the ME is like Saudi, which it isn't.
