Say goodbye to government-paid medical coverage

By the end of this year, 450, 000 public servants in Beijing will switch from government-paid medical care to basic employees' health insurance. The medical subsidies provided by local government offices will ensure they enjoy no less favorable treatment than before.

For company employees, government-paid medical care is already history. When I read the news, I felt both happy and sad.

Although the medical reform is based on the principle of no less favorable service standards, it will still be progress for the public servants to join the basic medical insurance.
