Is free healthcare a luxury in China?

Free medical services are always a luxury. We don't have that in the West either. There are periodic and sporadic exercises such as inoculations that a government can orchestrate for free in order to stave off contagious diseases, but to provide free medical care to all and sundry is to extend a temptation to live off society. Just think of the smokers. Should they benefit from free lung cancer chemotherapy? Should traffic accident victims be picked up by ambulances free of charge and their lives saved too without anyone paying?

In our daily life, more and more loanwords appear and change our habits in Chinese expression. Loanwords sound very similar with their original English words, and the process of learning them is full of fun to foreign students.
It has been a while since I've contributed to this Forum and I figured that since now I am officially on summer holiday and another school year is behind me I would share a post with you.
