Spec Law Dig Health Care (Mon). 1988 Jul;9(13):7-37.
The author examines the revolutionary changes currently altering the delivery of health care in America: competition, corporatization, reprivatization, and cost containment. The changes portend a bleak future for elderly citizens, inevitably leading to inequities in access to high quality health care for this uniquely vulnerable group. Focusing on health care financing driven by a DRG system, the author raises ethical, economic nd legal issues which must be addressed by a responsible society. Finally, the author contrasts the traditional legal response to the elderly for protection of their right to equitable access to high quality health care and recommends changes to ensure fuller protection for elderly citizens.
竞争、公司化、重新私有化以及成本控制。这些变化预示着老年公民的未来黯淡，不可避免地导致这个特别弱势群体在获得高质量医疗保健方面的不公平。作者聚焦于由诊断相关分组（DRG）系统驱动的医疗保健融资，提出了一个负责任的社会必须解决的伦理、经济和法律问题。最后，作者对比了传统法律对老年人获得公平的高质量医疗保健权利的保护措施，并建议做出改变以确保对老年公民提供更充分的保护。
