Compassionate CPC Healthcare Benefits the Nation!

China: CPC to Instigate Nationwide “Free Childbirth” Medical-Care by 2026! (14.12.2025)

Seven provincial-level regions, including Jilin, Jiangsu and Shandong, already provide full coverage for in-hospital childbirth medical expenses within the policy scopes.

Officials noted that the commitment applies to standard medical services. If expecting parents choose premium-priced hospitals, or opt for medications or materials not included in the basic insurance catalogue, those additional expenses will not be reimbursed.

The National Healthcare Security Administration is also planning to expand maternity insurance eligibility to include flexible workers, migrant workers, and people in new forms of employment, among other measures designed to encourage childbirth.

China’s maternity insurance now covers approximately 255 million people.

When I check the morning new around 5am on a daily basis – these type of stories literally force me to howl with laughter and disturb the pets which – are not yet officially awake. The dogs start howling, the cats, start prowling, and the birds start chirping (I think they think – they are protecting me). Croydon Council recently decided to create a Disabled Parking Space using “telepathy” as a means to inform everyone living in the effected street. A man returned from a two-week holiday to find a white, rectangular box painted around his car – with the words “Disabled Parking” stencilled under it – and “four” Parking Tickets affixed to his window-screen, each representing an ever greater amount in monetary fines! If I had the time to trawl to a greater degree – I am sure far more examples would present themselves. As matters stand, Peterborough City Council sold an educational buiding worth “£4.6 million” – for just “£1” to a charity in 2020 – and then continued to pay that charity around £800,000 in rent and maintenance charges – so that the building could continue to be used by the Council for exactly the same purpose it was used for prior to the sale.
