Healthcare is not socialized in China, the best facilities are private, and the public ones are still paying (usually requiring proof that they will be able to pay before admitting patients). Quite often, they provide different levels of healthcare depending on how much the patient pays.
It's easy to think that China is run as a socialist country because there's "communist" in the name of the ruling party, but the truth is very far from that; in many aspects China is a ruthless capitalistic free-for-all society with less socialist policies than even the US.
