President Clinton recently announced his reform plan for health care in the United States. The United Kingdom, along with other countries, has already enacted reforms in an effort to overcome the basic problem of having insufficient funds to provide a health service to meet modern demands. This paper briefly describes the recent health reforms in the United Kingdom and highlights some lessons for the United States, which include the need to choose procedures that should be universally provided. Health reforms that involve some fundamental restructuring need to be evaluated everywhere and agreed to by the staff in advance.
克林顿总统最近宣布了他对美国医疗保健的改革计划。英国和其他国家一样，已经进行了改革，以努力克服资金不足这一基本问题，从而无法提供满足现代需求的医疗服务。本文简要介绍了英国最近的医疗改革，并强调了一些对美国的教训，其中包括需要选择应普遍提供的医疗程序。涉及一些根本性结构调整的医疗改革需要在各地进行评估，并事先得到工作人员的认可。
