摘要
政府对医疗服务市场干预的主要目的是解决市场化导致的低收入者看不起病的问题,通常采用的方法是为他们提供免费医疗或给予一定的医疗补贴。而我国的医改中采用的是政府管制的方式是价格管制,这促使医院提供过多的医疗服务以及把服务的重点放在药品和检查上,在增加了医疗费用的同时也降低了医疗服务市场的效率。同时低价政策不但没有解决低收入群体看不起病的问题,反而增重了他们的医疗负担,进一步增加了医疗服务的社会不公平性。
The government's main purpose in intervening with the medical service market is to avoid phenomenon that low-income patients can't afford medical expenses. The usual solution is to provide such population with free medical services or medical subsidy. In China, price control is what the government uses to regulate the medical service system. However, hospitals driven by profits begin to shift their focus to medical service, medicine selection and medical examination. This not only increases the medical cost, but also reduces the efficiency of medical service. What's worse, the fundamental problem that low-income patients can't afford medical expenses remains unsolved and in some cases, they may even have to face even a higher medical expense. This trend highlights the unfairness in social medical services.
