Then I guess you *missed* the "factoid" which tells us that the *reason*
McDonald's and Pizza Hut provide full health benefits to their workers in
those countries is that they are *required* to do so by local law.

You also missed the (more important) "factoid" which tells us that Pizza
Hut provides health insurance for most of its US workers, even though it
doesn't have to.  Call up their headquarters and ask about this.  They'll
be happy to explain their policy to you.

(By the way, why do firms provide benefits for employees?  Because they
are in competition for the best workers, that's why!  Capitalism in
action, ladies and gentlemen...)
