Abstract As the refunding system does not distinguish local treatment and nonlocal treatment, nonmedical expenditure becomes the key for farmers to choose where to receive treatment. A sampling of the farmers participating new rural cooperative medical care system shows: the nonmedical expense is very high when they go to see the doctors in hospitals located in county seats or bigger cities, and the bigger the cities, the higher the expense, and the nonmedical expense for a farmer who goes to a hospital in cities exceeds a onemonth minimum living allowance for povertystricken families. So, it is suggested that the refunding system should take the nonmedical expense into account, using the minimum living allowance as the criterion so that the poor families can be economically relieved and the last obstacle in their seeing doctors in cities be removed.
