医疗体系的经济学其实非常简单,就三个问题:

价格是多少

谁来支付

当患者付不起钱时,由谁承担财务风险

我们知道:保险公司其实并不想承担保险风险;真正的风险承担者是再保险公司(Re-Insurance Carriers)。

我们也知道:我们根本不知道医疗服务的实际价格,而垂直整合型公司则会在能操作的地方操纵经济结构。

在我们知道真实成本之前,所有这些讨论都是浪费时间。

如果你不知道成本,就无法知道风险是什么。

在不知道真实成本的情况下,你也没办法制定任何应对方案,无论是全民医保,还是某种更好的制度,都无法真正解决支付与风险问题。

The economics of health care are very simple. There are 3 questions:

  1. What is the Price
  2. Who Pays for It
  3. Who Takes the Financial Risk When the Patient Can’t Pay

We know that insurance companies don’t want to insure. That the real risk takers are the Re-Insurance Carriers.

We know that we don’t know prices and Vertically Integrated companies game the economics where they can.

Until we know real costs , all this chatter is a waste of time. You can’t know what the risk is if you don’t know what the cost is.

And you can’t come up with a plan to deal with costs, payments and risk , whether it’s universal care or something better until we do.
