The Wall Street Journal reports today that China is aiming to improve its health care infrastructure, to expand health insurance for all, and is starting a “decade-long plan to repair an ailing health-care system that has fueled popular discontent.”
Gee whiz…what a novel idea. Health care reform as a way of appealing to the masses. Acknowledging that it will take years to reform a broken health system. Working on hospitals, clinics, and the health insurance system at the same time.
If China can do it with a billion people, why can’t we?
