Chinanews, Beijing, Apr. 13 – From 1980 to 2005, the average medical costs that Chinese spent in outpatients and those in inpatients increased 78-fold and 117-fold, respectively. During the same period, Chinese people’s disposable income increased only 17-fold, said Wang Longde, citing statistics from the Ministry1 of Health on Thursday, the Beijing News reported.
Wang made the statement when attending a forum2 jointly3 held by the China Center for Insurance and Social Security Research (CCISSR) and the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI). Since the surging medical costs far exceed the growth rate of people’s disposable income, Chinese people will surely feel that medical costs are “too expensive,” said Wang. Wang cited the conclusions from the Ministry of Health to confirm that most Chinese public are dissatisfied with the current medical service system. In fact, he said, the current medical service system can be summarized as “three dissatisfactions.” The “three dissatisfactions” he referred to are: people are dissatisfied with the current medical service quality; the Chinese government is dissatisfied with the medical operation situation; medical workers themselves are dissatisfied with their current situation. Earlier, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences also conducted an investigation4, in which the “high medical costs” and “people’s difficulty in getting proper medical care” were listed as the top concern of the Chinese public. 23.92% of the respondents in the survey picked up medical service problem as one that concerned them most.
