Similarly many procedures for vulnerable people or those with lower incomes are completely covered in Japan.
I get what you’re saying regarding the proportion compared to the total cost. But Japan’s minimum wage is over three times that of Shanghai’s and a higher payment proportion disproportionally impacts Chinese people with lower incomes.
As the Chinese healthcare cost basis is so low and government programs specifically focus on providing and
facilitating care for low-income individuals, lower-income Chinese populations don’t have the healthcare inaccessibility issue that you often see in other countries.
Given the prices, policies, and disparate income populations receiving healthcare i’m familiar with there and hete, it’s going to be difficult convincing me healthcare is more expensive or less accessible in China than Japan since the information online and especially on the ground doesn’t agree.
