In Wangjiatai Village, Miaotou Town, Hanchuan City, Xiaogan, Hubei Province, the village party secretary, Wang Weichi, embezzled the funds that were meant to pay for villagers’ rural cooperative medical insurance. As a result, a villager who suffered a sudden stroke was turned away by the hospital due to being unable to pay for treatment. On July 13, villagers pushed the patient to the entrance of the village committee office to demand an explanation.
