It is illegal to earn the difference between Chinese medicine practitioners and patients directly, and all those who earn the difference are illegal.

This phenomenon of "middlemen earning the difference" has appeared in the special industry of medical care. The middlemen here are well-known as "medical representatives", and this industry has sprung up with the help of the price difference. The number of "practitioners" in this industry is as high as 3 million. In fact, the money these people earn does not depend on the rules of the market. People in this industry, while earning the difference and stuffing money into their pockets, are also polluting the image of the whole medical industry in people's minds. These people encourage doctors to prescribe high-priced drugs by giving kickbacks to patients, which is a kind of corrosion and corruption to the whole medical industry. To a great extent, it has promoted the medical cost of people seeking medical treatment, caused a heavy burden to patients and their families, and seriously damaged the trust between doctors and patients.
