Every now and then this matter is brought up to rile up the foreigners.

 

Surely some foreigners will see the benefit to help their fellow less fortunate compatriots as it was originally touted to cover the medical bills of those who did not pay for their treatment at the hospitals

 

"Some of the tax money is allocated for overseas tourists who are unable to pay their healthcare bills while the rest will go towards the management of local tourist attractions."

Some days I see what is happening around me and believe I am surrounded by idiots.  Then upon further reflection I realize that it is not just on some days.
