From 2000 to 2016，the national total expenditure for public health increased from 49.426 billion yuan to 1315.877 billion yuan，with a remarkably average annual growth of 22.77%. During the three Five-Year Plan periods，the highest index values in the longitudinal evaluation all appeared in 2016；however it didn’t continuously improve but showing ups and downs. In the lateral evaluation，the distance from the ideal value has always been very obvious and the comprehensive index declined slightly from time to time. By in-depth testing the health expenditure related to its economic and financial background，the similarities to the expenditure for education，science & technology and culture，and the regional balance of all kinds of per capita value calculation，we can reveal the headway and the gaps：（1） The health expenditure growth was remarkably higher than GDP growth；it was remarkably higher than the fiscal revenue growth，and remarkably higher than the fiscal expenditure growth；it was evidently higher than the education expenditure growth，but certainly lower than the science & technology expenditure，and that remarkably higher than the culture expenditure growth. （2） Except the culture expenditure，the regional disparity of all the other kinds of data has narrowed. The regional disparity of health expenditure was reduced by 25.55%. It is gradually becoming a reality，not just a pursuit that the whole country has achieved economic and financial “balanced growth” and “equal growth” in the expenditure for education，science & technology and health.
