标 题: 市场化不是灵丹妙药，美国应该学习日本的医疗体制
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sat Dec 28 11:26:41 2013, 美东)
市场化不是灵丹妙药，美国应该学习日本的医疗体制。美国医疗费用过高，最大的原因
是医生收费太高，当然其他因素还有很多。医疗体制应该社会主义成分为主，私营保险
作为补充，占很小一部分。
按人头算，美国政府已经支付了比其他发达国家（挪威除外）更多的医疗费用，但是那
些国家都有全民医疗保险。美国的医疗制度是美国的shame
和极端社会主义一样，极端资本主义一样会产生邪恶

The strangest fact about the dysfunctional American healthcare system is
that American taxpayers are ALREADY paying for full universal coverage for
every American.
The US federal government already spends more per person on healthcare than
any other country except Norway. The difference is that Norway and every
other developed country gets full, universal coverage for it's money.
Americans, on the other hand, get deductibles, co-pays, coverage limits,
mountains of paperwork, medical bankrupcy, stress, hassle and, of course,
big bills for private insurance.
As a percentage of GDP the United States spends about twice as much on
healthcare as other developed nations - 16% for the US vs 8% for the others.
The extra 8% of national income that Americans spend on healthcare reflects
the political power of those who are making money from the status quo -
along with the dysfunction and idiocy of those who support them, of course.
I'm not sure whether to call that extra 8% the 'ideology tax' or the 'stupid
tax'.
Americans are being bled dry to pay for the greed of powerful vested
interests in healthcare, 'defense', criminal 'justice' and other areas of US
dysfunction. And the strangest thing is that they just seem to accept it. |
