I consider healthcare a quintessential part of social safety net. Almost all developed economies (well, except the United States) provide universal healthcares to their citizens. So I figured China has to have one.
The status quo is far from that:
“官方统计显示，截至2007年９月底，全国社会保险参保人数分别为：养老保险１.９７亿、失业保险１.１５亿、医疗保险１.８９亿、工伤保险１.１５亿、生育保险０.７３亿。”
And China has a population of 1.3 billion. The above figure says that only 15% have healthcare insurance.
That explains how excited I was when I read this: 医改方案出台 3年投入8500亿参保覆盖90%. Viva, socialism! It’s gotta set a world record.
Like everybody, I’ve been anticipating the Healthcare Reform anxiously. Viola! The suggestion version (?) is finally published.
Look at that! What a piece of spectacular trash! It has anything but information! It’s not even boring! Jesus, how can we trust 1.3 billion people’s healthcare on those guys?
P.S., where did the RMB 850 billion go?
