You have passed the test.
What the current Chinese system is in China.
Does it involve a re-education camp?

I don’t know how China does their healthcare.
Healthcare in China - Wikipedia Some more info for those who want it.
It has perks and downfalls. On the one side, like everything in China, prices set by medical infrastructure is regimented by the government and thus doesn't have private insurance arbitrarily setting hyper-inflated price points. Because if they did, even though China required insurance to pay 70% of cost, that 30% could still be the equivalent of tens of thousands of US dollars (as is one of the reasons healthcare in the US is so untennable). I don't know how robust China's public option is compared to their private healthcare but I do know they don't have nearly enough care providers, especially outside cities. But that might be more a problem of education accessibility. But it does impact wait times and coverage ability.

It is not for me to hold opinions on what another nation (of which I am not a citizen of) should do regarding its operation.
Its imitating the way our health system works, so there is no need for us to imitate it. China's healthcare system changes often. There was Mau with basic healthcare for all. Then came privatization in 1976 (going by wikipedia article). This privatization meant only people in the cities had a good chance to get healthcare. Then in 2006 there was an improvement for people in rural areas. It sounds like what we have here.
Our healthcare gets a boost from charitable actions. For example sometimes a hospital will forgive a medical bill. They also don't refuse treatment in emergency rooms.

As part of their plan to equalise wealth, China Is investigating European healthcare systems. So it could be all change.
China want to reduce the differential between the super rich and average pay.
This has started with boosting controls on multinationals and super technology companies.
Many countries around the world are concerned about the same issues. But do not have as much power or will, as China, to do anything about it.
