The observations, from ordinary people, here in Australia tend along the lines of "Trump gets a sumptuous hospital and unbelievable care while the poor people can't afford any health care and that stinks even though we understand POTUS is the most important job in the world". ^
Are the Americans taking a simillarly dim view of the incredible disparity in health cre?
^ We have a wonderful free public healthcare system here in Australia and we find it disgusting that the USA turns the poor away from the hospital.

we have a wonderful public health system here in Australiastan with lots of free care.
For a real example, a bloke with lung cancer had tests, scans, surgery, chemotherapy and hospital all at no charge, The total cost to the patient was roughly A$100 (roughly US$70) for pills.

I suggest there is a long list of countries with better health care than the USA.
Here cancer, and a lot of other maladies, are treated by our public health system.
In the USA the poor get sick and die.

Please note that I said "we understand POTUS is the most important job in the world" with no mention of wealth. A lot of people still do not like it that anybody gets excellent care while the poor get nothing. That is an indictment of the US health care system with the important point being that the poor get nothing. Nothing.
Of course POTUS should get care given the consequences of a potentially disruptive transfer of power to a successor.
The poor should not get nothing in a rich country.

What is pissing people off is his whole "It's nothing to be afraid of" BS. People or their loved ones that weren't able to get the same level of care don't want to hear that crap from him.
The fact that he is still down playing it and continuing to put other people at risk just so he can try to get reelected isn't sitting well with anybody except his rabid trumpettes.Keep on Civin'

The treatment costs the same. Someone must pay for it either way. There is no free health care, anywhere.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

There's nothing wrong with telling people not to be afraid, but it says a lot that you are pissed off about that.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
