China's health care reforms and increased spending on health care fall short of what is needed.

12/30/2005

China's increased health care spending of $16 billion by the central government in each of the years 2009-2011 is clearly inadequate. Over 200 million are uninsured and the health care system jacks up the costs so much with expensive tests and pills that the poor tend to shun hospitals. The current plan puts off government financed health coverage for 90% of the population till 2020.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
