ABSTRACT
Two systems which covered nearly 1. 1 billion people in China’s social health insurance, namely the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( NRCMS ) and the Urban Residents’ Health Insurance System ( URHIS ) , have been depended mainly on government support with high percentage of premium subsidies. This paper deals with the current situation and probes into the main subsidy policy problems by making an overall analysis on the policies of 31 cross-country provinces , and in result points out four problems including the long-term mechanism shortage, in-distinct responsibility between governments at different levels, the equity deficiency and the subsidies inefficiency. Finally, the paper concludes with enlightening some corresponding policies and suggestions.
