An Analysis Of The Public Financial Support Of The Medical And Sanitation Security In Chinese Rural Areas

The Fourteenth Party Congress has pointed out clearly that we shall build a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics. While building the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics, we shall transform the government function and let the market play a major role in the resources collocation according to the requirement of the market economy, thus build the socialist public finance with Chinese characteristics step by step.Government shall be clear of its responsibility and has some actual function in the public finance under the market economy. The degree of the "publicness" shall be the basic standard for defining the scope of government obligation under public finance conditions. The essay deems that our public finance must have its distinctiveness since China is a socialist developing country, and the function scope of our public finance shall be determined according to the specific condition of our country.At present, our country is still in the stage of transforming from the planned economy to market economy. Government function shall be partly transformed according to the requirement of the market economy.Medical and sanitation security in rural areas is a key problem we are facing now. The mistreatment of the problem will severely influence the stability and long-term development of the nation. While attaching great importance to those problems, government shall analyze carefully the quality of various problems, defmitude government obligations and exert the maximum efficiency of government and market play under the market economy.The essay considers that our medical and sanitation security is actually made up of two parts: rural sanitation and epidemic prevention and rural medical treatment, which are distinct from each other while connected to each other in various ways.Rural sanitation and epidemic prevention is largely public and is an indispensable part of the national sanitation and epidemic prevention. Compared with it, rural medical treatment is less public. Only after we realize their differences in character, can we find a reasonable solution and give due play of the government under public finance. From the unique qualities of the rural sanitation and epidemic prevention, and rural medical treatment, along with the actual condition of our country, we can see that government has different responsibility with regard to the two aspects. The essay deems that rural sanitation and epidemic prevention shall be solved by public finance security. Farmers and the society shall make come contribution to it as well. In the mean time, it shall be solved through choosing the way that suits the situation of our country. The author thinks that taking the new cooperative medical treatment as the basis, plus serious disease insurance, and taking the market supply as the supplement are the proper pattern to solve the present medical security problem in rural areas.
