While the nation looks to universal access laws as a solution to hospitals' rising costs of caring for the uninsured, laws covering all workers are standard operating procedure in Hawaii. The state's mandatory insurance law was meant to reduce hospitals' indigent-care losses, but losses have continued to mount at some facilities. Despite the overall benefits of the law, Hawaiian hospitals struggle just like their mainland counterparts to survive.
当全国都指望通过全民医保法来解决医院照顾未参保者成本不断上升的问题时,涵盖所有工人的医保法在夏威夷却是标准的操作流程。该州的强制医保法旨在减少医院在贫困护理方面的损失,但一些医疗机构的损失仍在继续增加。尽管该法律有总体益处,但夏威夷的医院也像美国大陆的同行一样,在努力求生存。
