Why China can provide 1.4 billion people with healthcare coverage

- Chinese hospitals treat about 8 billion patients per year. To tackle the global challenge posed by medical insurance, China firmly believes that "an all-around moderately prosperous society cannot be achieved without the people's all-around health. Public health should be given priority in the country's development strategy." Check out this video and have a look why China can provide 1.4 billion people with healthcare coverage.

I broke a tooth when i was in Shenzhen China, and was surprised as the charge for treatment to replace the damaged tooth was very cheap,
and service was very good + systematic + fast+ polite. Wonderful medical service in China, even for foreigners , like me.
@love n sweet2008 I live in Portugal and yeah almost all European healthcare systems are same as you said ..you rather don't get sick or you are fucked!!
ps: Not China, but the rest of the world.
@@coffeelover5631 in u.s.a it cost an arm and a leg
Medical service in China is not equal. Shenzen is among the top richest regions in China, and richer regions have better hospitals. Similar to the USA, the medical system in China is unequal depending on where you go. In lower tier regions and cities, the hospitals are often very crowded with insufficient beds for the patients so the hospital has to cycle them out quickly. When I was in China, a person I know broke their hip in one of the less wealthy center provinces, and it took forever to even get him admitted and assigned with a hospital bed (and probably only thanks to some connections). The hospital itself was so overcrowded that some people were resting on the floors.
@@LORDNAG1 Not quite. If you have dental insurance (which is usually very cheap), you can expect to pay between $0 to $100 for repairing damaged teeth. If you have no dental insurance, you might pay several hundred dollars or more depending on the level of damage or how many teeth are damaged. In the USA, many medical costs are expensive, but dental insurance and dental expenses are among the cheaper types of insurance and cheaper types of medical expenses.
I live in China and when I need, I can just walk into a hospital and get my illness taken care of in hours. Now I am in the US, anything requires appointment after days. Even if the doctor didn't do anything and told me to drink water, they charge me hundreds.
This. The positive thing about Chinese healthcare is that it's prompt and efficient. When I got sick in China and went to see the doctor at a clinic, I didn't have to wait for long, he did a throat swab there at the office and offered me an option of injection antibiotics or oral antibiotics (took the latter, I hate needles lol), which were available there at the clinic drugstore. Whereas here in New Zealand where I normally live, while the healthcare is very good as well, there isn't that efficiency - I have to wait days for a swab test to come back, and follow-up is pretty sparse.
The downside to Chinese hospitals, however, as the video says is that there's a lot of people there. So the facility is more crowded and the care will be quite impersonal. The nurses won't have as much time for you so it's preferable to have a family member there with you to attend to your needs.
@@ComedyLoverGirl You are absolutely correct mate. Some famous Chinese hospitals are the most crowded place you would ever see except maybe india.
oh my God...poor America😢😢
when the hk dudes that support yellow ribbion rubblish enter into usa/uk/Canada/Australia , they will learn the hard way, and cannot go home ever again.
Are you still in the US? I really want to leave this place asap.
I’ve been treated for kidney stone attacks twice, once in hospital in Dallas TX, the second time in a hospital in Shanghai. Despite being a much more complicated case, treatment in the Shanghai hospital was better: faster admittance, faster diagnosis, proactive escalation of treatment and better follow up.
Who refuses to believe me? Most people in the US.
Dean Smith doctors and nurses in China are paid way more less and have way more work load than their peers in western countries. Many students nowadays thinking it’s not worth to go to medical school considering the many years of learning and practice but the income is just above society average , incomparable to their western peers who earn million per year.
@@alexyu111 Allow me to point out I said nothing regarding medical professionals' pay. I confined my observations to delivery of medical services, which on the whole I found very competent. But since you bring up the topic and feel my understanding of China would benefit from some additional knowledge. I worked for years (not in the medical profession) in China and was well compensated. With regard to knowledge specific to the Chinese medical profession my wife happens to have MD and Phd from China.
If, on the other hand, you want to make the point that US medical professionals are over compensated, you are free to do so, I only ask you do not do so in reply to my post.
@@alexyu111 As a student I don't agree with ya. In our perspective, doctor/nurse = secured job and income since people WILL get sick some time and there is always a larger number of patients than doctors/nurses cuz we have like 1.4B ppl. It is also very hard to become one, you need to study one year longer in Medical Major, just like other countries. BTW comparing earnings with developed countries is meaningless. FYI, Pepsi costs 0.3 dollars per can in China, 1 dollar per can in the U.S. A normal lunch costs 4 dollars in China while 20+ in the U.S. We earn less but we also spend less.
Don't lie. You are a 50 cent troll
Francis Underwood I think you are 50 cent and China you visited only with the Fox propaganda news on your TV.
40 Million USA citizens are NOT covered by health insurance

"Toilets are a key indicator in measuring the advancement of a country"
India has left the chat
India has also made a lot of progress in this regard, although not as good as China.
At least the Indians wash their bum afterwards they don't just use toilet paper and smear it around
Healthcare has always been possible when it's not based on capitalistic greed
China has the leadership who cares about the people. President Xi regularly visits the poor in remote areas to understand their problems and then correct the problems and also dispatches university graduates and specialists to assess the situation and provide solutions to help the poor.
China has been raising the quality of life for it's citizens. The working citizens in the USA quality of life keeps falling. Something is wrong with the US economy, the rules allow the investment class to take it all, while the working citizens struggle to survive.
USA : It's not possible to give 300 million people healthcare
China with 1.4 billion people : hold my stencils
This is call good administration and management of a country, same for any successful business.
Yes, I am Chinese, but I am not born in China, I am a Malaysia Chinese. Ask yourself how do one define fairness, a government who look after the wellness of its people and the world, or a government who only look after the rich. Remember all mankind are brother and sister in the eyes of God.
Natural progress ? May God open your intellectual mind to see the progress that China has progress, in Green Technology in 50 years, mostly in reclaiming or greening the desert, Dear brother May God provide you with great wisdom to view things in a wider scope. Please do not confine your mind or should I say look outside the box.
@Pub Comrad The fact, Singapore in not part of China, it is one of the Riches Country South of Malaysia. May God give you wisdom, by dear brother.
@@hm2hou Nicely Explained
@Pub Comrad : Hong Kong? Macau? Taiwan? Singapore? How many people these few place have to manage? Beside, they were managing those quite average people compared to what China has to manage 40 years ago, close to a billion people living in absolute poverty. When you have a massive populations which majority are literate and wealthy, they can become a good asset immediately, but when a massive population that majority are illiterate and live in absolute poverty, they become a liability. But what China has done in this single generation is not something other can match.
"The CCP actually hinders natural progress of the Chinese people", I hope you're not joking about this. In term of technological achievement and innovations, can Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau or even these four combined even match a fraction of what China achieve in these forty years?
You know what, people like you and those China haters only know how to hate, but in reality, China has progressed more than any society in the world in just 4 decades or roughly a single generation. Look at other country with massive populations 4 decades ago that weren't even in extreme bad situation compared to China, what did they achieve in these 4 decades? Most of them were still failures, some have minor improvements and achievements, but that's all about it, nothing impressive at all.
People who usually hate China virtually majority of them have never even set foot in China, most of them were force fed with bullshit media propaganda, and to make it worse, most of them possess brains that do not function and do not know how to tell different between everything, they just followed blindly and spew bullshit all day long, but we Chinese have the luxury of travelling around the world thus we can make comparison and know what is better for us in the long term.
the real freedom is not to worry about health, education and housing
i went to sutter health center in Bay Area for fever, the doctor gave me water and x-ray and a result of “may be infected but just take some rest for now, if get worse come back to see me”, of course, with a $1200 bill. I think 80% doctors in the US don’t have enough chances to see enough patients to practice, they are basically under qualified with a qualified degree and student loan.
It's incredible a country with a population of 1.4 billon people has a health coverage for its people and 85 % its rural area people have become users of modern toilets. This makes you ask why countries twice, three times, five times, ten times and above with smaller than China population excuse that their population size as a big challenge to provide some basic free public services, and give explanations as one of their reasons for the slow of their social and economic developments. Good economic policy, good economic management, and skilled human resources, and excellent resources distribution to the people.
In China, it costs approximately $3 to see a well-experienced doctor in the highest level hospital(I think that's why people pour into the big hospitals.), and $7 to ask an ambulance. The actual burden is the expensive imported medicine. Medical care reform has been tried out in a few cities and works well. But it is difficult to carry out in the whole country. You know, interest groups.
Health expenditures are a lousy macroeconomic indicator of quality. The US spends 17% of GDP but 1/3 of that is administrative waste due to a private insurance system. Also, US system leaves about 15% uninsured and reliant on emergency rooms for too late care.
Exactly. People shouldn't look at "amount of money spent", they should look at "health outcomes" (e.g. "X out of Y patients with illness Z survive").
That is SO TRUE! Even with insurance, it wont be covered until you cough up like 5K out of your pocket first before insurance will start to pay up. Whats the point of having insurance? Oh yeah, its mandatory now regardless of what the price it is. Healthcare in the US is such a joke.
It's not too late for Americans to learn this from China now.
Yes.
Learn from China.

To all who like the CCP! Go live there! I will never a moment am going back to a communist country.
Being someone who has visited rural areas in china, I can tell you that the toilet system that is described here actually isn't covered everywhere just yet. But like everything else. I love the fact that they try to improve in this area. Keep it up please.
It's better than when I was a kid. Back then the rural toilets were just holes in the ground with two planks, lol. I'm glad they are improving it, because while other parts of the living space get attention first - living rooms can look very modern and fronts of houses very modern in rural China - toilets are often a neglected space because they are not presented to the public, yet they are so crucial in maintaining good health.
The video literally explained how it's only implemented in 70-80% of places.
Well. US simply has a much higher medical bill. I was once charged $1,400 before insurance for a visit for fever. In China, it would cost around $50-100. Of course, emergency visit costs $900 out of the $1,400 bill but I was in a really bad shape can cannot wait another two weeks.That is the problem. US hospitals charges ridiculously high prices to compensate their losses on non-payment.
meanwhile USA spending 650 billion on their nanbar 1 military
Sadly they spend all their budget on dominating and oppressing people outside their nation instead of taking care of the people inside their nation.
And they still say that the Europeans need their protection😂
Simple, China has enough hospitals and pharmacies.
Max Williams no. its all about universal healthcare system.
Unfortunately we don’t.. Small cities still don’t have enough medical resources. They are working on it tho.
It's nice of you to say that but nope we don't have enough. Actually we have far less than enough. If we had enough hospitals, people from across China didn't have to travel all the way to major cities to get proper treatment. Every single public hospital in major cities is overly crowded with patients. I hope things get better in the future.
China got rid of corrupt politicians and parties and hence began to prosperity.
If not the Chinese violated our sovereignty or if we could just forget our differences we Indians could have learnt a lot from them.
India is violating Chinese sovereignty. China isn't the one who refuses to stop fighting. Also, once India started collaborating with the US, it's clear that India is evil and cannot be trusted.
us richest country in the world and still fighting over health care, what a joke
It's not a joke , they are dead serious , and they want us dead .
One have to understand US spend quite a lot of money on a certain percentage of their population who couldn't or refused to work, and arms. One the other hand, China does not have the safety net for people unless they are old, and those with physical disability, thus producing hard working citizens who have to fend for themselves, therefore, they have more money for their health system.
@@QuantumJump
True. Also China had told them all that if they wanted to access the 1.3billion person market, industry and infrastructure they would have to share their tech. Those companies still chose to go and made ridiculous profits. Yet today all we hear is Chinese stealing everything, yet most of the so called "stolen" tech is what US companies freely gave away and the chinese were able to both use and modify to create their own tech sector. Now schengen boasts tech output equivalent to if not greater than silicon valley.
Pub Comrad you mean that free healthcare that I have to wait 2 months for a fever appointment?
@Pub Comrad
Seriously that is your final pitch? You actually believe in that bs? Have you listened to the speach by Mr. Sanders this past week where he asks a series of questions?......

I’ve been in a couple of hospitals in China and I have to say how impressed I was with the quality of healthcare for a developing country. It’s at least on the same level as the NHS here in the UK and possibly better in some ways. Although I’ve heard medical professionals are overworked and underpaid which is also a problem here.
Ya, maybe America should learn from this. Nah, it gets in the way of corporate profits. Silly me!
ah! CORONAVIRUS IS JUST ANOTHER CIA/USA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY TO 'put the boot into China.. ' AS IF it will hamper china!
P.S. 'CORPORATE SHARE OF GDP TAXES IN USA is... 7% the rest is paid by US TAX PAYER.. US citizen far too stupid to care!
The people that control the for profit health care system - will not have health care in hell. They can be evil while they live but once they die you cant take your money with you.
I was brought up in the West and came back to live in China. I am discovering a great nation, people and culture. Whilst not perfect it is improving at a phenomenal rate. It is way becoming one of the best country to live in compared to a lot of places in a well developed Western world.
China’s successful central planning and more particularly President Xi Jinping’s tackle on corruption has tremendously helped the healthcare system with its capabilities to meet the needs of the 1.4 billion Chinese citizens. All nations who are serious about their universal healthcare can take a learning example from China as the best way to plan successful and innovative measures to meet the needs of their respective populations.
@@Greg-eq4qn CIA paid troll?
Not a Chinese but their President Xi Jinping is seriously doing a good job as a leader.
Americans will argue : but there's no democracy and freedom of speech... Go figure, Americans, Hahaha
We are free of healthcare and have freedom to die of preventable diseases.
There is some level of democracy in China. People vote in lower-level government like village/town representative and city district representatives. These people then govern and are able to be selected into higher government by the existing congress. And freedom of speech is unreliable at best everywhere - every platform has a vested interest in pushing one opinion over another. This is why it's even more important to support China and Chinese media - it will humanise one side of the world that America always demonizes, and will tell us the truth when the USA fails to do that. Media needs to be coming from more than one perspective for maximum freedom of speech.
@@ComedyLoverGirl Exactly. The idea that unbiased media can exist is a lie, designed to deceive you from the truth. Listen to all sides, and determine the truth for yourself. It exists somewhere in between, never in one extreme, especially not in the so called "free media" that sold us Iraqi WMDs but never mentioned the fact that we invaded more foreign countries in the past 50 years than China did in the past 5000 years.
democracy??? hahaha
It is against US national security to even talk about Chinese Health care.
Everything Chinese is bad! We need to shadowban all the outlets and accounts that spread pro-China messages...because national security...

Now every time I go to China I found they have the best toilet in the world in countyside
really? why? 😂
kfc ？
中国确实很多农村的厕所修的很豪华，特别是那些特色农村旅游景区
And what's great is that it's all new - I'm only 20 years old now, but when I was a kid the countryside toilets were literally holes in the ground. Now there's so much new infrastructure. I think it's a great idea too, because bad toilets and dirty living conditions in general will make people sick, and it's always better to prevent illness than to treat it, and sanitation is the first step to a healthy population.
You must be joking! Or you're a proud member of the 50 cent army? ;)
I love Chinese people and admire their hard work. I hope they come to my country in the millions and help us grow together.

The TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) play an important role in China. The local wisdom in food also play important role. Tea, herb, tonic are part of Chinese life.
In China resto in smaller city, the menu come with 2 parts, the hot part (more heat to the body) and the cool part. If you order too many hot foods, the staff will suggest you to order a cool food to balance the food impact on your body (chi) like ying and yang.
Accupunture and traditional massage benefit many peoples. Most chinese in South East Asian and other part of the world knew those TCM and using it. When we got sick, we didnot jump to the doctor, we will try to use TCM fisrt, which is quite good and very cheap.
I wish we had public health Care here in America. I have several illnesses that I could never afford to have treated properly.
I feel sorry for you Matt, I wish the US government would treat its people better with the priority they deserve! Its always the poor and middle class that get hurt. They would rather spend it on guns and bombs!
@@garrycoleman8537 thank you for your concern.
I am one of the 11 million people who has minimal coverage through MediCal, which does provide for emergency coverage and appointments with nurse practitioners, and sometimes even Doctor's assistants, after 3 months of receiving approvals for service then waiting all day in a waiting room, so really just the issues I have untreated are those that I don't have the patience to see if I might get referred to someone who is capable of recognizing symptoms beyond the first page of most common ailments, and is not constrained by policies that mandate 6 rounds of ineffective & harmful treatments before anything comes of it, and also coincidentally believes that I am not just making things up because I like waiting in buildings full of sick people all day. (I have been accused of that 3 times now, by 3 different people . Well the first wrote it in my chart, and the rest read that before meeting me.) Because the only medical providers who I am allowed to request a referral to see are the types that nobody would willingly choose to visit. I often hear them yell at patients to cover their own mistakes.
I understand the pain that is feeling a Wisconsin citizen. In Spain, basic healthcare is very bad because less funding each year, but you still go to a hospital if you need it for "free", and you leave it healthy or dead.
❤️🇨🇳. Congratulations China! (At least they are making progress & numbers show many advances in recent years...while at the same time focusing on coverage, keeping costs down and focusing on prevention. In other words, doing much better than the US whose maternal-infant mortality rates have dropped to third world status.)
They are honest enough to admit that they still need to continue improvement.
See 9:23
To understand that there are more steps, more room for improvement, despite limited budget, that my friend is called perseverance.
Spending more in Healthcare is an indication that something is wrong. U.S.A spends the most in the world and has the least accesible Healthcare. Out of the roughly 300 million, 20-30 millions still do not have Healthcare that is truly terrible. Especially for what is spent by the U.S.A government.
One reason why health care is so expensive in the US is the high cost of malpractice insurance, which is due to huge payouts to litigants when doctors/hospitals are sued. Unless and until judges and juries realize the impact of awarding insanely huge amounts, medical costs will remain high.
The biggest reason though is that the prices aren't negotiable. Unfortunately, without government intervention, private companies will always charge as much as they possibly can. And if a patient is dying... well... you can charge a really steep price. Martin Skreli became public enemy #1 when he decided to buy out a life-saving drug and jacked the price 100 times the original amount.
I agree with China in health care system it's the best according to me
Keep up the Good Work China.
Am not a great fan of usa
But praising china don’t have to come at the expense of the usa
The two countries and the whole world can work together and achieve more
We are all one
one planet earth
United States government has chosen otherwise.. Which is too bad for everybody
I don't see any critical reviews on US health care system in this video though..... But I do agree with what you said. If only the US gov could realise this.
Well, unfortunately US administration doesn't think this way.
We all wish for this too. Hell, even Chairman Mao declared all those years ago that he believes the American people are good. However, the USA at least now under the Trump administration is hell-bent on staying on top and kicking down everyone who doesn't follow along. They don't want an equal relationship - they want superiority. Co-operation is a two-way stream and Mr. Trump refuses to meet anyone in the middle.
Um... because they spend less on military spending I guess?
There are some restrictions on doctors'fees in China, so the fees for senior doctors in big hospitals in China are not too high, which is similar to that of doctors in general hospitals.Prices are not much different, senior physicians are more capable. How to choose is obvious. Even if you are not rich, you can see the best doctors as long as you are willing to wait in line.That's why China's big hospitals are always crowded.
Malaysia: very affordable (no insurance), and better quality medical care. Also a mix/choice of natural, Western, Chinese, Indian, Malaysian health care. Think they are 4th in the world for best medical care.
Far less pharmaceuticals, far more alternative care. Compared to the U.S., probably 1/10th the cost.
Returned to the states very disappointed in the collapse of medical care, the skyrocketed cost even with medical insurance (also extremely expensive), and how many cannot access needed care.
There is nothing like Western medicine, its modern medicine
Because Chinese doctors don't get paid extremely high salaries. The drugs are not expensive except imported.
You can if you have a government for the people and not a government for the rich like the US
Excellent performance, but still lots of room for improvement
yes，we want to establish a health care system like north Europe countries such as Denmark 🇩🇰 or Sweden 🇸🇪.That is the final goal for Chinese government and Chinese People.
@DemistTheLies cut them some slack. They are working on it step by step.
It's simple they don't spend all their money on the military fighting wars
If we have public healthcare in the U.S, how do all the insurance firms survive? Who will pay for president election? Impossible to make public healthcare work.
I think China found its own way to the goal of being a socialism country.
Keep up the good pace, China.
Congratulations !
If we eliminated prescription drug advertising to the public in the USA the prices of the drugs would be 1/3 what it costs now.
America seems to be spending higher percentage of their gdp on healthcare but what are exactly they spending on? Healthcare services is very costly in US- who are the ppl making money out this?
It's not just China, many countries have universal healthcare regardless of their capitalist/socialist political system. It is a basic human right.
The United States doesn't have universal health care. All universal health care systems had to be fought for by socialists, even in capitalist countries it were socialists who fought for it.
In China. Most of the time, the traditional medicine works very well. And cost only around 100RMB.
Such as my wife. She is pregnant and the hospital told her she can't have the baby because Progesterone is too lower. We spend more than 10000 rmb to try to solve that. But final a 300 rmb traditional medicine works.

@@limrosemary8536 it's a bunch of plants, i even can't tell the chinese name. but it is quite normel in china, you can find them in many cities. just ask local eld people.
what good this has done them.
I came from a small country in Europe (11 million people) and the system in my birth country was symilar to China (In which the biggest % of the cost was supported by the state and a small part by the employer. ) until United Sanctions (States) of America curropted the politicians. Despite that we do still have these rights but not as good as before.
The differences are everything in the state is a business and has to be profitable even when it comes to human rights which is health care, and it’s crazy expensive to see a doctor in the state.
Thank you for this video and congratulations on the first ten years of Healthy China Implementation.
I appreciate that you are honest with the many challenges facing the world largest and most diverse population.
This video demonstrates to me that China is on the right track focusing on community health promoting activities, such as group dancing in the park, and disease prevention such as improved personal hygiene with accessible and clean public toilets.
Health insurance is the concept of the West and is becoming unsustainable, just look at the USA. Universal health care, such as Medicare in Australia where tax payers contribute 2% (now 2.5% to include national disability scheme) of individual taxable income to the national medicare fund, is the way to go. I am sure there are other excellent examples from Scandinavia countries.
I wish China well and that your Healthy China agenda is as innovative and successful as your high speed trains!
Covid showed us whos healthcare is more effective. There is nothing else to say.
Canada’s healthcare is free though the PRC is doing a well job maintaining its healthcare services to 1.4B people.
Most companies in China usually only pay 15% on the health/pension. Maybe some pay more but I always paid 100% for my Chinese wife. In 2019 it cost 15,000Y for 100%. It went up in cost every year for the 10 years that I paid it.
Comparing numbers like %GDP or spending per capita makes little sense, medical bill in USA is crazy, easily 10x or more for the same treatment in China. US healthcare service and medicine is way over priced
*Love China from Pakistan. I Hope that our People and Government should also Cooperate with China in Field of Health Care.*
It will, my friend.

@michi hofer
Yeah, They are doing well.😃
Many working people would agree that freedom from lack of health care is more important than free speech except but for politicians who are benefited from supporting the drug and health industries, making obscene profit on sick people.
US needs to take a hard look how to reduce cost and waste. In Taiwan, government health costs $25 per month, co pay in the hospital or doctor is $20. In Hong Kong, the cost to visit hospital or doctor is $30. In U. S. I was paying $800 per month until I reached medicare age. Hospital and drug are caused higher medical cost, in additional to middle man health insurance. I believe doctors are paid fairly due to extend education and loaded debt upon graduation.
XJP's Mission to lift and eradicate the entire population out of poverty is to be admired. No one shall be left behind
is not a promise but a statement. Fujian is grateful for the commitment and tenacity of XJP in improving the livelihood of residents in the mountains. XJP delivers the Chinese Dream
The US govt can not negotiate drug prices and the healthcare is ran by pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies. That’s why they have much much higher per capita expenditure.
Well, the politician are corrupted they don't care keep on pumping funds to the military. IF THE HEALTH CARE JUST GET A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THOSE FUND THEY WOULD BE FINE.
China is a great country and great leader, low taxes and free healthcare I want to move to China
In my country we always have to give money to doctors because if not they will not even look at us
It's so hard for us😭
Healthcare should be a human right and not a commodity for sale.
This is an objective report rather than a propaganda. China is progressing rapidly
It's basic logic to have healthcare either free or heavily subsidized for the citizen because you need a growing population to support a growing economy. If citizen can't have easy and cheap healthcare then the death rate will supercede the birth and population will shrunk.
You don't need health care when you have "freedom".. /s
Freedom is the best health care in US.
“I'm fine! Thank you! And you?”
Shengchuang Feng I am fine, too

Adam, the host in this video enjoyed the fun of visiting toilets and hospitals, ease of finding toilets comfortably using them. In hospital Long Q but every patient was looked after, not like in America light pain and illness the next appointment was made. The westerners had condemned the poor toilets and hospitals long time ago.
this and safety are the real freedom.
Every country started somewhere, they don't start at the same day. It is not for one to ask many nations don't have why are you asking China.
profit is american government/politicians' number one concern, not people's wellbeing. thats what you get from a capitalism soaked democracy. Chinese government actually plans for the good of the society and country in long term, even if just for very practical reasons.
China does offer insurance to 95% of the people. However, it only covers half the medical bill, and the CCP has been promoting the Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is not proven or disproven to work. TCM is where most people seek treatment. So to say it’s perfect is a fallacy.
Its not promoting, its already been in use for thousands of years. Traditional medicine has a niche on its own.
You hv erased yr knowledge rgds this.
Traditional n modern medicine is working hand in hand..
one reason is Chinese doctors works so hard,the have to meet more 80 patients a day and get small salary like 20k RMB
Every (almost) Western Country can provide healthcare to all its people. Still China lacks behind in terms of Medicle compared to EU or NA Countrys, but that can improve if the they know how to use it.
Why China develop so fast. Hard working people
This is really hitting the Americans in the sore spot...
While trump said USA can’t afford universal health insurance for smaller population.
America has a failed democracy, the country crumbling with breakdown of infrastructures, skyrocketing healthcare, violence, overspending, loss of morals, failing families, lots and lots of problems. The leaders are not solving the problems but are busy debating about them. It would take a miracle to save this sinking ship.
Fake news 🇺🇸💪
Because real health is actually very cheap, its just the big pharmas and their marketing and legal(patents) teams making things a lot more expensive than it has to be. Plus I think big pharmas should not have shareholding (or even be involved in) of companies in making foods (esp healthy food marketing) that are widely consumed, cornflakes of interest.
You have to respect China when you see that.
China has modern and traditional (inexpensive) medicine and less red tape. US must use Pharmaceuticals or its not covered.
Traditional medicine is also a good point to remember. Chinese healthcare is not reliant only on pharmaceuticals - there's also a lot of focus on overall health and using herbal medicine, foods high in certain nutrients (like red beans and red dates for iron or yam and chicken soup for protein) for recovery from illness, etc.
When it comes to health, China is best. If remembered several decades ago it was a time to save the pandas. Decades later, the pandas increased in numbers, and more panda bears now, so glad. A friendly panda, is a helping panda.
I like pandas. : ]
Man like pandas are good man....enmm,Woman like pandas are good woman.
Proud to be Chinese! 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
This medical support based on all the doctors and nurses sacrifice. Keep working for 36-48 hours is really common. They had to work about 60-80hours a week
Health care system in the US is sucks, complex, ineffective, abusive, and too expensive.
well if you are rich it is great.... but for everyone else - yeah
a lot of money going into the wrong pockets
Just watched a video about a cancer medicine that in the US costs $2000 per month, in Australia $8
When rich Chinese or Russians need important medical care they come to America. Giving Chinese patients a hand full of herbs, when they have a medical issue, doesn't qualify as quality care.
But it is still costly for an average income family if you get serious illness, like cancers, even with the existing coverage, due to the high overall cost.
I love China!
Great content! Very educational and informative. Can CGTN share something about crime rates in China? Or somebody knows about a video on this?
@Xiao Han thank you for sharing your opinion. I wanted to confirm from a chinese person themselve. This is my phone number so I can share videos from my country +57 322942 1896
As a westerner residing and working in port city of Qingdao, I can attest to the fact that China as a whole, is a very safe country as far as crime rates are concerned.
Government works for the people. They have to answer to the people.
