Medical expenditure has become a heavy burden on the public sector and the family system in many countries. Expanding the coverage and reimbursement of medical insurance has become a common way to reduce the burden. This book will elaborate on how medical insurance may increase the burden instead.It explains why the existing medical insurance system results in increased medical costs, where higher costs may offset the benefits of certainty brought by medical insurance, forming the 'paradox of medical care insurance'. This assumption is verified by empirical evidence in China, through a new method developed to find out the actual medical costs, using two parameters: ratio of self-payment of medical insurance and the level of monopoly in the supply of medical services. The book also describes the history, the current situation, and the reform of the health care system in China.Contents: The Effect of this Research Reform ProgramThe Effectiveness of the ReformSummaryAbstractMembers of the Research TeamAcknowledgmentsDivision of WorkEconomic Subjects and Markets in the Medical FieldThe Insurance System and Its ProblemsGovernment Involvement in the Medical FieldThe Formation, Status Quo and Problems of China's Basic Medical SystemEfficiency and Fair Evaluation of Resource Allocation in the Medical IndustryReform Plan Based on Market SystemStrategies and Timing of Medical System ReformSubject Report: Survey Report on Going to the Hospital to See a DoctorAppendix: Questionnaire for Going to the DoctorReferencesIndex
