Why doesn't Chinese medical insurance cover the costs of all procedures and medicine? Why do people still need to pay out of pocket for stuff? (lemmygrad.ml)

You're talking about the film 我不是药神. It was set in 2004.

Things have changed DRASTICALLY now.

As for Chinese insurance covering FOREIGNERS, was that even the original question?

You can travel to China and pay outright for far cheaper than the US. In fact medical tourism is a big industry in China already and it's growing fast.

See this recent summary of a report on the industry https://youtu.be/DXUA5hpW8Ek
