Practical steps are defined for enhancing the role of private sector by effective use of small clinics, healthcare centers in distant villages and underdeveloped towns resulting in equitable healthcare services with overall accessibility and affordability. Development and construction of private clinics is to be encouraged and doctors were allowed to start their own private hospitals besides their employment in public or private hospitals (Freeman & Boynton, 2011)
These private entities now rely on fee paid by patients and revenue against sold medicines hence the state burden was shifted to citizens. (Hu, 2004) The role of government in financing and investing in healthcare is still vital and it counts for 5% of the total GDP (UNDP, 2005, p 63)

During this time two important policies were adopted; firstly the local governments started examining and approving competent professionals themselves awarding them licenses to start their own clinics and secondly the acquiring a license was made necessary before starting a medical practice. Besides these policies a health team was appointed to remove unlicensed private institutions banning them from future practice anywhere in the country (Letza et al
Literature Review: China is known for its traditional methods and medicines provided to masses in temples by traditional practitioners; this was a private sector but not enlightened with modern techniques and methodologies of healthcare. In the post libration era of 1949 to 1965, the competent professionals were only devoted to royal families, government officials and soldiers, equitable health provisions were absent for common man as they only had access to folk doctors with no formal education using traditional, religious and mythical means for curing selling herbal mixtures as medicine (Ma, Lu and Quan 2008)
The new healthcare reforms consist of four elements; medical insurance, public health, quality of delivered services and provision of essential drugs. In these reforms basic healthcare is made as a priority and emphasis is given to small built qualified healthcare setups providing best possible services at a grassroots level (Palmer, 2002)
Privatization of any sector is an intended process by government through which involvement of non-government elements is increased; these non-government entities then finance and provide services on their own being regulated by provisions set by the government. (Starr, 1988) China started privatization of its health care industry in 1979, the project investigates the process and the obstacles faced during these three decades especially by private clinics and highlights the role of private sector focusing on private clinics in the overall healthcare structure in China with emphasis on the competition, customer preferences and other social elements
Termination means that state's span of control is reduced and responsibilities are given to private bodies, while contracting out means that state's span of control and responsibilities remain intact only certain works are contracted out to complete the public tasks. In self-governance scope remains the same and with public bodies but extensive autonomy is given to the bodies (Gill & Ghuman, 2000)
Many of these health workers actually began their practice as private practitioners as well. On the basis of this rural health policy, the Government proposed the development of a new cooperative medical system in 2003 (Zhang & Unschuld, 2008)

In addition to that, there is a Medicaid system which addresses rural as well as urban population. The funding level has already increased upto 120 Yuan per head in 2010 in terms of government spending in public healthcare (Zhu Chen, 2009)
Personal accounts are the only true "lock box" that the government can't pick." (Biggs & MacGuineas, 1) the outcome would be pointedly destructive though
We don't think it's fair that someone should have to suffer the cold because they cannot afford to heat their house without sacrificing other critical needs." (Thoma, 1) Ironically, this is not a standard which has been applied to all industries
By providing appropriate counseling services and optimizing the opportunities for vocational training and continuing or remedial academic education during periods of incarceration, the focus on meaningful inmate rehabilitation is intended to increase the percentage of inmates who can find gainful employment once released back into the community. Naturally, individual counseling services, education, and rehabilitation all add significantly to the costs of maintaining correctional facilities (Cullen, F
The Evolution of Private Prisons: In the last few decades of the 20th century, legislative changes such as drug reform laws and "zero-tolerance" policing strategies dramatically increased the American prison population. In large part, that was linked to the emerging belief that the increasing imprisonment of larger and larger numbers of criminals would produce corresponding drops in crime rates (Dershowitz, 2002)
Policing/Corrections - Private Prisons CRIMINAL JUSTICE: PRISON PRIVATIZATION Prisons in the United States - Background and History: Until the late 18th century, prisons in the United States emphasized the punitive approach to incarcerating criminals that had been common throughout Britain and other European nations from which the first American Colonists set sail. William Penn had introduced a system intended to focus more on correcting criminal behavior, partly through the use of imposed silence (to aid self-reflection) and separate isolated confinement of each prisoner (Gaines, Kaune, et al
By rewarding cooperative behavior with the relative comforts and privileges available to minimum security prisoners, the three-tiered system conceived at Elmira helps maintain compliance and safety. Today, the vast majority of correctional facilities make use of the three-tier system, either by dedication of entire facilities to prisoners of one specific level or by employing internally separate units or housing wings, transferring prisoners among them as appropriate based on their conduct while incarcerated (Nagin, 1998)
In some states, virtually every subcomponent allowed by law to be filled by non- state workers has been preferred over government employees, primarily for cost savings. Other states, completely prohibit private-sector operation of any prison, correctional facility or of any of the service associated directly with their operation (Schmalleger, 2007)
Privatized prisons often provide better services and conditions for inmates: A prospective study of prison privatization in Alabama concluded that "private construction would create more prisoner bed space faster, thereby relieving overcrowding. Private construction could replace many aging facilities in Alabama with more efficient, state-of-the-art prisons (Ciamarra, 2006)
A 2003 study by the New Mexico-based Rio Grande Foundation showed that New Mexico spent $9,600 less per prisoner in 2001 than did states with no prison privatization programs. The state saved more than $50 million in 2001 over the previous year without prison privatization by contracting out for management of less than half its prison system (La Faive, 2004)
