As the U.S. undertakes national health reform, it would do well to consider both the old and new lessons offered by Germany's century-old universal health system. "Old" principles include an explicit national policy, shared financial responsibility, universality of coverage, and structured financing. New lessons, which are more concerned with operational strategies, include societal affordability, budgets, supply side restrictions, and volume controls.
在美国进行全国性医疗改革之际，不妨考虑一下德国有着百年历史的全民医疗体系所提供的新旧经验教训。“旧”原则包括明确的国家政策、共同的财务责任、覆盖范围的普遍性以及结构化融资。而更多关注运营策略的“新”经验教训则包括社会可承受性、预算、供应方限制以及总量控制。
