What health services should governments pay for? Who should receive transplants or expensive procedures? What services should be available through private insurance? Should there be a two-tiered system? And, how do we decide on what services to publicly insure/fund? Many governments around the world are facing such questions. In Canada, the Government of Alberta and the Reform Party of Canada have recently expressed the need to re-think which health services are publicly funded, or the "comprehensiveness" of Canada's health care system.
政府应该为哪些医疗服务买单?谁应该接受移植手术或昂贵的治疗程序?哪些服务应该通过私人保险提供?是否应该建立一个双层体系?而且,我们如何决定哪些服务由公共保险/资助?世界上许多政府都面临着这样的问题。在加拿大,艾伯塔省政府和加拿大改革党最近表示,有必要重新思考哪些医疗服务由公共资金提供,即加拿大医疗保健系统的“全面性”。
