China's Continuous Exploration to Solve the Rural People's Problem of"Have Access to Medical Care and Have No Fear of Illness"——The Development History,Operational Logic and Future Progress of New China's Rural Cooperative Medical Care System
For more than 70 years since the founding of New China,the country has been exploring ways to provide af-fordable,high-quality health carebetterfor the rural population,and after uninterrupted exploration from traditional to new cooperative medical care,a model of full coverage of farmers'medical care with Chinese socialist characteristics has been formed,and this continuous and uninterrupted cooperative medical care has formed a unique experience of governance change in new China,and it is a fundamental guarantee for the formation of the"Chinese miracle"of national develop-ment.Viewed through the long lens of historical change,China's cooperative medical care has gone through a practical trajectory from"collective welfare","individual consumption"and"people's livelihood services"to the equalization of basic public services.At all stages,efforts have been made to ensure that farmers can afford to see a doctor to the maximum extent possible under the contradictory movement of real needs and resource constraints.In order to ensure,that farmers have access to medical care and have no fear of illnessat a higher level,,it is necessary in the future to continue to vig-orously promote the integrated reform of the basic medical insurance system for urban and rural residents,to expand the scope of reimbursement for farmers and to reduce the share of the burden borne by individuals,so as to ultimately realize the national strategic plan for the enjoyment of the right to health by all urban and rural residents,and to advance to-wards a people-oriented socialist"common health care"system.
