[Comment] Catastrophic medical insurance in China

China's medical insurance system has changed dramatically in the past two decades. The country's most established programme, the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance, dates back to the mid-1990s and initially covered only 109 million employees of state-owned and collective enterprises.1 In the early 2000s, the Chinese Government established two additional insurance programmes, the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS) for rural residents and the Urban Resident Medical Insurance (URMI) programme for self-employed and unemployed urban residents.
