Health Care In CanadaCanada Health Care In ChinaChina

For most families in cities, they don’t have to worry about paying medical bills. However, according to some articles on-line, it shows that medicines are largely unaffordable to rural residents who earn an average of $300 a year. City residents remain better- off, mostly because 60% of them have some forms 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. That means right now in 2006 there are still so many Chinese people who can’t afford health care.

Canada is one of the countries which has the best health care insurance system. Most of the communities in this country are provided with hospitals and clinics with good service. After registering the health care insurance plan, all of the residents, citizens and permanent residents can get free medical treatment.
