"China has a health insurance system that provides
virtually free coverage for people employed in urban state
enterprises and relatively inexpensive coverage for their
families. The situation for workers in the rural areas or
in urban employment outside the state sector is far more
varied. There are some cooperative health care programs,
but their voluntary nature produced a decline in
membership from the late 1970s."

Да, действительно гадство. Как в России.
Спасибо.

Впрочем, там же сообщается, что

The annual cost of medical cover under the New Rural
Co-operative Medical Care System (NRCMCS) is 50
yuan (US$7) per person. Of that, 20 yuan is paid in by the
central government, 20 yuan by the provincial government
and a contribution of 10 yuan is made by the patient. As
of September 2007, around 80% of the whole rural
population of China had signed up (about 685 million
people).

Итого, если платить 2 доллара в год, можно
пользоваться услугами невозбранно. Другое дело,
что для сельского жителя 2 доллара - большие деньги
(там народ имеет по 30 баксов в месяц).

В целом нормально

In 2004, the neonatal death rate was 1.54%, the maternal
mortality rate was 48.3 per 100 000, and the life
expectancy at birth was 71.8 years.6 In developed nations,
these figures are on the order of 0.5% (neonatal death
rate), 20 per 100 000 (maternal mortality rate), and
approximately 80 years (life expectancy).2 According to
the World Health Organization (WHO), "Overall, people in
China are living longer and healthier lives. . . . The
disease profile resembles that of the developed countries:
85%-90% of deaths are due to non-communicable diseases and
injuries."7

A second major factor is that government investment in the
health care sector has been inadequate during the past 2
decades. National Health Accounts data show that total
health expenditure has increased more than 40-fold over 2
decades14 to US $91.8 billion in 2005, accounting for
5.55% of China's GDP.12

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

В Китае люди живут 72 года, в России примерно 66.

Средств на медицину тратится в процентах от GDP
примерно столько же, но в России почти все
разворовывают не отходя от кассы

Такие дела
