Assuming that you are talking about the expense rising in China, there are two reason. First the price of everything is rising here in China, just look at how much port has risen in the last few years. Second because the bigger companies are starting to feel the pressure of having Western brands and not just Chinese copies, and of course the real thing cost a lot more than fakes.

My God, Medical treatment is really expensive here...
I started to have my dental treatment last month..... i had to leave it, when i spent around 5000 RMB. And still doctors say to spend around 10,000 more...

Really expensive...

that the reason why the chinese hospital is a kind of most richer industry, and the doctors are high-income group. in china , whether public hospital or privated hospital are enterprise. their purpose have nothing except money. so they will charge huge check-fees for patients and sell expenseiv drugs for people. for some people,especially for low-income groups without proper healthy security system, a serious disease cure cost will make them totally broke.

Are medical treatments *really* that expensive in China? A friend of mine just had an emergency appendectomy done in Beijing and it cost under 10,000 RMB. In america it would cost thousands of dollars. perhaps "expensive" is a subjective term here.

Or you could just wait for the new social insurance thing to kick in...(maybe)
