The purpose of this paper is to assess the current level of access to care in rural China based on results from a 1994 random, cross-sectional survey of three rural counties in China. A total of 722 people were interviewed. The results of the study indicate there is currently a significant gap among rural Chinese communities in terms of access to health care, particularly with regard to availability (e.g., cooperative health plan or other insurance plans) and acceptability (e.g., health care spending burden). Less developed rural communities are placed in double jeopardy: not only are residents paying a higher amount for health care, they have to do so with significantly less income.
本文旨在根据1994年对中国三个乡村县进行的随机横断面调查结果，评估中国农村地区目前的医疗服务可及性水平。总共采访了722人。研究结果表明，目前中国农村社区在获得医疗保健方面存在显著差距，特别是在可及性（如合作医疗计划或其他保险计划）和可接受性（如医疗保健支出负担）方面。欠发达的农村社区面临双重困境：居民不仅要为医疗保健支付更高的费用，而且他们的收入要少得多。
