Features: This book is based on the grand goals of a harmonious society and scientific development, analyzing China's fundamental national conditions in healthcare and medicine. It conducts an in-depth exploration of the various shortcomings in the current healthcare system, such as the phenomenon of "treating medicine to support medicine" and the issue of unequal access to healthcare services. On this basis, the authors propose the establishment of a modern national healthcare system adapted to China's basic national conditions, with a foundation in a socialist market economy. Public spending should shift from investing in healthcare services to investing in people's health, and national health security should transition from traditional medical expense guarantees to modern lifelong health guarantees, in order to achieve the strategic goal of a health-powered nation. The book also proposes a series of reform proposals that can be referenced, such as drafting the "Health (Promotion) Law," establishing national lifelong health records, innovatively introducing "BtoP" new IT information services, and developing new corporate profit models, among others. This book is of reference significance for healthcare and social security department management personnel, practitioners of healthcare reform, and the broader public concerned about China's healthcare industry and personal health security.
