Doctors at receiving end in medical reform

As an historic healthcare bill is finally approved in the US, Wang Shanshan in Beijing looks at the pressure on doctors working in China's reforming medical system.

As Barack Obama signed into law historic reforms of the United States healthcare system on Tuesday, the US president not only ended decades of political wrangling but, according to supporters, also years of anxious waiting by doctors. Although the reforms will make medics busier, campaigners said they ultimately boost the wages of those who treat the poorest people.

Doctors in China can only look on in envy.
