This is from one souce for aggregate data. I am trying to find another source I read that used survey data compare urban (private vs essential) vs rural. These are from reputable sources.

"The cost per doctor visit in China increased from RMB 14 to RMB 120 between
1993 and 2003, which accounted for 19 and 43 per cent of per capita monthly income,
respectively. During the past 20 years, the role of out-of-pocket expenditures in financing
health care has been rising. In 1980, personal spending accounted for 21 per cent of
national health-care expenditure and 36 per cent of Government health-care expenditure.
By 2001, the personal share had increased to 60 per cent, while that of the Government
had declined to 16 per cent. In 2005, the personal and Government percentages were
49 and 18, respectively. Low use of health services and the high price of health care are
related to inequity in health-service financing and in health status, as evidenced by
WHO findings and other research."
