Now hospitals in big cities have begun to refuse patients due to DRGs. They say they don't have beds for high-cost diseases, or outrightly reject them. Li Ling used to boast about free healthcare, but now she's convinced that people abroad can get free medical care with no queues at all. Even though there are only a few people in the world who can afford to queue up for months on end, we're still going to be stuck here.

Li Ling is an independent director of the pharmaceutical company Renfuxin, and they've already laid out their plan for this kind of medicine. |
