Five years have elapsed since the Chinese government announced its
ambitious health care reform programme. The fact that both the
United States and China unfolded their gigantic national health
care reforms almost simultaneously is reflective of the daunting
health policy challenges that most national governments are
grappling with. While Obamacare has barely survived the obstruction
from Congress and remains controversial, its Chinese counterpart
has concluded its first phase at a fairly smooth pace. Having had
three trillion RMB invested into it within five years, this
landmark reform stands out as one of the biggest health policy
interventions in modern history in terms of both scale and scope. A
critical juncture in the reform process has been reached and it is
time to assess its performance to date. This book provides an
interim evaluation of China's ongoing national health care reform
from interdisciplinary perspective. Insights generated are not only
valuable to inform next phase of the reform, but also relevant to
health policy reformers in other developing and transitional
countries. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of Asian Public Policy.
