This Time article sheds quite a different light about what rosy condition Chinas healthcare condition is in . Here is a tidbit


"According to UNICEF, 60% of China's health-care spending goes to drugs, compared with the worldwide average of 15%. Even in China's cities, where hospitals receive greater government support, UNICEF estimates that hospitals generate about half of the money needed to pay doctors' salaries through drug sales. "


"the health-care system has been eroded by years of inadequate government funding, and where medicines are largely unaffordable to rural residents who each earn an average of $300 a year. "

"City dwellers remain better-off, mostly because six in 10 of them have some form of health insurance. Only 10% of rural residents do, and most of them are government employees or live in wealthy coastal areas, where many work in factories."

Or a NY Times article http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/14/in...=1&oref=slogin

"China's economic reforms have turned an almost uniformly poor nation into an increasingly prosperous one in the space of a mere generation. But the collapse of socialized medicine and staggering cost increases have opened a yawning gap between health care in the cities and the rural areas, where the former system of free clinics has disintegrated. "

"according to the government's own estimates, in less than a generation a rural population that once enjoyed universal, if rudimentary, coverage is now 79 percent uninsured."

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

China isn't mentioned in either article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

China and Japan are different countries.

Are you guys that freakin" dumb???????????????????????????

Figure it again ,it comes out the same. 40... not 50.

Still, it is the same arguement. Work till you die because you can't afford to retire- after all the years of paying into a system. Perhaps if a few system heads went missing.. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Don't get your panties in a wad . If you're asking me if I know the difference in China and Japan the answer is yes I do . My post had nothing to do w/ your comment . China's system sucks , Canada's system sucks and the Japanese for the most part pay for their healthcare just like we do with contributions and co-pays .

For Gods Sake don't go!!!!!!!!!!

At least you're literate, even if your geography does suck [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I have to say that this thread has taken a humorous turn.

We have a guy trying oh so hard to be sarcastic and upon failing miserably in that reverts to chest thumping and vulgarity [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] That always cracks me up. Didn't take long either.

Then we have at least two posters who don't know the difference between China and Japan?! and one of them has the SN Sun Tzu!! I'm either having a wild dream or I'm stuck in The Bizarro World?
