At the same time, in terms of health care costs, due to changes in population migration and structure, changes in the types and structure of diseases, the introduction of new medical treatment technologies, and the improvement of living standards, medical and health costs have grown rapidly. From 3.17 trillion yuan in 2013 to 5.16 trillion yuan in 2017, the average annual growth rate is 13%, which is twice the growth rate of China's GDP during the same period. The proportion of health care costs to GDP increased from 5.5% in 2013 to 6.2% in 2017. Social health expenditures (mainly medical insurance expenditures) increased from 1.14 trillion in 2013 to 2.12 trillion in 2017, an average annual increase of 16.7%, which put heavy pressure on basic medical insurance funds, and some regions have even been unable to make ends meet.
