Beijing ambulances to get taxi-style meters

Until now, ambulance drivers worked out the charges themselves, often leading to complaints from members of the public who felt that their bills were too high, The Beijing News says.

In February, Chinese media reported that a man in Shandong was slapped with a 3,600-yuan ($550; £380) charge after his ill father was transported 80km to hospital. That's about half the monthly wage of an average Beijing worker.

Do Chinese really have to pay for ambulances or is that just their governments propaganda.
