this "information" is completely, totally, utterly INcorrect.
not only is it NOT free (but costs ARE neglible), it IS available to ANYONE with a valid visa allowing them to reside in hk (so visitors are excluded).
Indeed, on a dependent visa (and obviously HKID) I was treated at a local hospital recently for an ankle injury, had pain-killing injections, x-rays and anti-inflammatories, bandages for the grand total of HK$100!
