Excerpt from the English translation: While the country's highly militarized rescue model is effective, we should not overlook its deficiencies. It would be wrong to equate strong government with 'big government,' or to wax nostalgically about the supposed superiority of a command economy.
The quake has severely taxed China's medical resources. Many quake victims have been given free treatment, a departure from China's medical system, which usually requires cash upfront for treatment. But some patients say hospitals are now pressuring them to leave or transfer elsewhere before they are fully treated. Hospital officials say healthy patients are taking up room needed for others.
