Yes there is state provided healthcare.

Can you source these statements?

'Health care is in theory free for all citizens, but in fact there are many charges for services, and when supplies are unavailable in hospitals the patient must purchase them on the open market. Each province has a separate budget, and provinces receive different amounts of humanitarian aid.'

Aw that's so sad. As a sufferer of chronic pain, other acute pains and depression plus anxiety (with a lot of history) I understand these poor people's state of mind

He must have been in such mental and physical turmoil and his suicide method took determination, see how he's stood there with knees bent?

"in a country with no health care other than traditional Khmer herbal medicine, or prohibitively expensive private hospital care"

"Health care is in theory free for all citizens"

I am not saying that there is 100% fantastic coverage, what I am saying is that you were incorrect to say that there is no state provided healthcare.

You must be a USA dimocrat. Good grief, are you for real? So because the govt gets a cut of a pay check, therefore there is HEALTHCARE?

Why yes! If the govt says there is healthcare, shut up and move along!

"guaranteed to all workers under the labor law"
Maybe he was unemployed/couldn't work due to illness.
