To understand what the impacts of these reforms have been on the healthcare system, it is necessary to have a brief overview of the healthcare system that operated before the market economy reform in the country.

In urban areas, workers received health services based on subsidies from state-owned enterprises (SOEs), as well as family members of SOE employees and pensioners, which was called Employment Insurance Plan (LIS), and for other urban residents social groups such as government employees, disabled veterans, teachers and others the Government Insurance Scheme (GIS) was applied (Blomqvist 2008; Chu 2002). Similarly, in rural areas, health services have been organized and financed through the Cooperative Medical System (CMS), within the collective agricultural production system and social services. The main feature of the CMS is the collective financing, the prepayment system and the organization of the health service through a three-tier system with a vertical administration that includes "barefoot doctors" referred to as providers of primary health care and prevention, municipal health centers - second level of healthcare facilities and provincial hospitals - third level of healthcare facilities. The CMS financing scheme included the assessment of the premium, depending on the benefit structure of the plan and the economic status of the local community, the collective welfare fund and subsidies from the higher-level government... middle of the document ... inserted into STATA 11 and a dataset was created.2.4. List of main variablesThe utilization rate (%) of hospital beds was chosen for the dependent variable of the study. As independent variables NRCMS, URBMI, UEBMI, GDP growth rate (%), Total health expenditure (%) of GDP, Public health expenditure.2.5. Data AnalysisThe main data is analyzed with STATA 11. Descriptive analysis of the dependent variable Utilization rate (%) of hospital beds shows that it has a mean of 70.22 with a standard deviation of 10.01, the number of observations ( years) is 24. Time series line graphs are used to observe and interpret trends in the use of healthcare services during a specified period of time (time unit = one year). Line graphs are also used to observe trends in changes in the independent variables over the same period of time that changes in the dependent variable were observed.
