The demand of medical care grows rapidly when the national economy and living standard are developed. This paper analyses the elasticity of medical care in Hangzhou which is lower than the national average. The target of current medical reform can solve the problems of the lack of the health resources and high cost at the lowest level and neglect the higher level demand of the middle and the better-off. The reform can be trapped in the inefficient situation just like beginning of NHS of UK. Based on the supply of Hangzhou medical care in the last thirty years, the research advises the public hospitals attract the private capitals to construct the joint medical institutions and hold the dominant position to break the deadlock of the quality of health care and service in the current civilian battalion hospitals.
