Yes this is true. If a chinese child is born with the mother being unmarried, it is considered as a non-person with no state rights to medical care. Additionally, as the legal age of marriage for Chinese women is 20 years old, any child born to a woman below that age will not receive medical treatment for the same reason. This is why so many Chinese women will sell their children to adoption brokers. If you want to know how serious of an issue this is, I recommend watching the HBO documentary, "China's Stolen Children." When I spoke to my friends in China about this, they agreed it is true. http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/chinas-stolen-children/index.html
