The economic reform of the 1980s brought many benefits but also meant that the health care sector was changed from the previous “universal coverage” to paid only service. This means that many of the poorer people was unable to afford health care. It is one of the biggest source of grief for the society. One component of affordable health care is the price of the medicine. By allowing the various provinces to experiment with various system, it seems the central government has decided to go with this system. There are still many reforms ahead be it in education, health care or governance but at least this is what I consider a big step ahead.
