China's free medical model**: avoid excessive medical treatment, save medical costs, and end the hospital income generation model.

With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, free medical care for all has gradually become a hot topic in society. This article will look at the current state of healthcare in China, the feasibility of free healthcare for all, and the challenges that may be faced, and focus on how to avoid over-treatment, save on healthcare costs, and end the hospital revenue generation model.

At present, China implements a social medical insurance system, that is, the insured person needs to fulfill the obligation to pay the premiums before he can enjoy the medical insurance benefits. This system has ensured the basic medical needs of the people to a certain extent, but there are still some problems. First of all, the coverage of medical insurance is limited, and it is difficult for some people, especially rural residents and flexible workers, to enjoy comprehensive medical protection. Second, medical resources are unevenly distributed, with resources in large cities and large hospitals being strained, and the capacity of primary medical services being insufficient. In addition, the burden on individuals is heavier, and the phenomenon of poverty due to illness and return to poverty due to illness occurs from time to time.

The universal system of free health care has obvious advantages. First, it helps to achieve an equitable distribution of medical resources, so that everyone has equal access to medical care. Second, free medical care can reduce the economic burden of the people and reduce the risk of falling into poverty due to illness and returning to poverty due to illness. In addition, free medical care for all is also conducive to improving the health level of the people, thereby promoting the harmonious development of society.

However, there are certain conditions that need to be met for the implementation of a universal free health care system. First of all, there needs to be adequate financial support to ensure the quality and sustainability of health care. Second, the health care system needs to be balanced and avoid over-concentration of resources in large cities and hospitals. In addition, the medical security system needs to be improved to ensure that the implementation of universal free medical care will not lead to the waste and abuse of medical resources.

In the process of implementing a universal free medical care system, how to avoid over-treatment, save medical costs, and end the income-generating model of hospitals is an important issue. Here are some suggestions:

Strengthen the supervision of medical quality: ** The supervision of medical institutions should be strengthened to ensure the quality of medical services and avoid excessive medical treatment and waste of medical resources. Promote primary medical services: ** We should increase investment and support for primary medical institutions, improve the capacity of primary medical services, guide patients to seek medical treatment nearby, and reduce unnecessary medical consumption. Reform the hospital's revenue-generating model: Hospitals should be driven to shift from relying on drugs and check-up revenue to providing quality medical services, and encourage hospitals to generate revenue by improving the quality and efficiency of their services. Introduce medical insurance payment reform: ** Medical insurance payment reform can be introduced, establish a reasonable medical expense payment mechanism, and encourage medical institutions to use medical resources rationally and avoid excessive medical treatment. Strengthen the construction of medical ethics and medical style: ** We should strengthen the education of medical ethics and medical style for medical personnel, improve the professional ethics of medical personnel, and reduce the phenomenon of excessive medical treatment and abuse of medical resources. The universal free medical care system has obvious advantages and attractiveness, but under the current social and economic conditions in China, the implementation of universal free medical care still faces many challenges. Therefore, in the process of medical system reform, China should fully consider the national conditions, gradually promote the improvement of the medical security system, and provide better medical services for the people. When conditions are ripe, we can explore the implementation of a free medical care system for all, so as to achieve a fair distribution of medical resources and improve the health level of the people. At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding excessive medical treatment, saving medical costs, ending the hospital income generation model, and ensuring the sustainable development of the medical system.
