I’ve looked into this before and the average health insurance is like 10-20 dollars a month - when you consider other socialized health systems like the UK is still paid for with tax from workers in part (national insurance) it doesn’t seem that bad honestly.
Consider the life expectancy of most Chinese people is really old, their health care system is working it seems.
Edit -
Quickly reviewing this China has basically the same system in the UK - workers pay 2% of their monthly income and the employer covers the rest.
UK National insurance is only 2% on earnings above ~£45k. For most of the population, since median salary is ~£39k, the national insurance rate is more like 8%, which comes to about £100-250 a month depending on where you are within that tax bracket.
