We’re told repeatedly that the Chinese Health Care system has been gutted by these horrible free market reforms. You know, the old system of not very much care for everyone together was much better:
A Chinese woman’s 64-year-old headache has ended after doctors
removed a bullet that relatives said lodged in her skull when Japanese
soldiers shot her during World War Two, state media reported on Monday.
Jin Guangying, now 77, lost consciousness after a Japanese patrol in
Jiangsu province fired on her in 1943 as she went to meet her
grandfather, a guerrilla fighter, the Beijing News said.
"When she came to, her head was wrapped in a bandage and she never
realized there was a bullet lodged deep in her head," the paper said.
Later, she would regularly have headaches, foam at the mouth and "talk nonsense… like she had gone mad", the paper said.
So, err, this new free market thing that takes no notice of those without money can diagnose something that the previous egalitarian system left untouched for 64 years?
Jin’s relatives planned to seek redress for her more than 60 years of suffering.
"As her children, we will soon go to Nanjing to consult with
relevant experts as to how to seek compensation from the Japanese
government, and will definitely be seeking a public apology," the paper
quoted Wang as saying.
