Looks like it's changing, at least by reports on this 2025-12 news article about lifting restrictions 9n hukou medical insurance enrollment

https://www.caixinglobal.com/2025-12-03/china-provinces-scrap-hukou-limits-for-medical-insurance-to-boost-mobility-102389391.html

But as far as I'm understanding, is still a thing, that migrants from rular to urban province get unequal access to Healthcare.

    Thanks, good article! In practice their hukou hasn't stopped anyone I know from accessing national healthcare across provincial borders the last 15 years, but if any of my friends had had to return home for care, it's not much of an issue in China.

    They have such advanced transportation and good healthcare is available in all provinces. It isn't like disparate Alabama/California levels across provincial levels of healthcare, more like all pretty decent healthcare at affordable prices for everyone.
