观点原文

你的全民医保(M4A, Medicare for All)计划有一些问题,Bernie(桑德斯)。目标是好的,但细节部分就没那么理想了。

  1. 一切都由美国卫生与公众服务部部长(HHS Secretary)自行决定,包括药品目录(drug formulary)和什么算是“医疗必需”(medical necessity)。——如果现在是这样运作的,你觉得会怎样?(第31页)

2. 任何医疗服务提供者都可以选择不参与计划,不接受 M4A 的资金,同时要求患者签字承诺不提交报销申请。(第27页)

这对顶级昂贵的医疗机构来说简直是梦想成真。——你越昂贵,就越开心能拒绝只按 Medicare 价格付费的患者。

3. 你真的打算每年都重新谈判所有药品的价格吗?(第53页)

  1. 你通过取消除补充保险(supplemental insurance)外的所有保险,实际上是在帮医疗提供方大忙。因为这样一来,医生和医院就能像现在一样——提供“分期付款”或融资服务,同时赚得更多,因为他们的行政开支更低。他们还可以先查病人的信用记录,从而降低风险。

5. 你说,选择退出 M4A 的医院只有在下列情况下才能与病人签约:

摘自第303(b)(1)(B)条款:

“该合同只能在患者面临紧急医疗状况时签署。”

这肯定是个笔误吧?

但同样的内容在 2023 年版法案里也出现了。

——这是校对错误,还是你真的在说:

任何选择退出的医生,只能与在急诊室里的病人签合同?

其中一些人可能还失去意识、或处于极度痛苦中。

这完全说不通。

  1. 其他所有实行全民医保的国家,

要么设有“家庭医生把关制”(gatekeeper system),

要么通过直接或间接收费机制让患者分担一定保费。

加拿大和英国正是用这种方式来控制医疗成本。

你的计划没有这点。

这可能会让你设定的预算彻底崩溃。

结语:

医疗确实是一项权利。

但如果你不考虑现实情况——

一个由少数大型公司主导、经济高度集中的医疗体系,

那你就无法真正让人们获得他们需要的医疗服务。

Your M4A plans has issues bernie. Goals is good. Particulars, not so much.

  1. Everything is at the discretion of the sec of HHS. Including the drug formulary. And what is a medical necessity. How would that be working right now ? (p31)
  1. Any provider can choose not to participate, not getting any M4A dollars and requiring patients to say they won’t turn in a claim. (p27)

This is a dream come true for the highest end providers. The more expensive you are, the happier you are not to take patients who pay Medicare rates.

3. You seriously are going to renegotiate all drug pricing annually ? (P53)

  1. You do providers a huge service by killing off all but supplemental insurance plans. Which means that providers will do much like they do today, offer financing. And make more money because their overhead will be lower. They can do credit checks on anyone first, reducing their risk

5. You say hospitals that opt out can only sign a contract if

From Sec. 303(b)(1)(B) —

“be entered into at a time when the individual is facing an emergency health care situation;”

This has to be a typo. But it’s also in the 2023 bill. Is this bad proofreading , or are you effectively saying, no provider can opt out unless they exclusively sign contracts with patients that are in the emergency room ? Some of whom may be unconscious or in deep distress. This makes no sense.

  1. Every other country that offers Universal Health Care either uses a gatekeeper doctor or charges a premium directly or indirectly for that patient choice. Canada and the UK use this to keep down costs. Your plan does not. That could destroy the budget you want to set

Healthcare is a right. But you can’t get people the care they need, if you don’t consider the realities of a healthcare ecosystem where a few companies dominate the economics of the system.
