There have been several approaches taken to solve the malpractice insurance problem in this country. However, since the cost of malpractice insurance continues to climb, the changes so far have not solved the problem, and more changes seem inevitable. A major change could be the development of a patient insurance plan that would provide compensation for certain injuries related to medical care. The insurance coverage would be centered on hospital care. If certain requirements are met, the plan may not be more expensive than the current tort liability system, and would offer several advantages. In addition to the patient injury insurance, there could be federal assumption of liability for national immunization programs.
在这个国家,已经采取了几种方法来解决医疗事故保险问题。然而,由于医疗事故保险成本持续攀升,迄今为止的这些变革并未解决该问题,而且似乎不可避免地需要更多变革。一项重大变革可能是制定一项患者保险计划,该计划将为与医疗护理相关的某些伤害提供赔偿。保险范围将以医院护理为核心。如果满足某些要求,该计划可能不会比当前的侵权责任制度更昂贵,并且会带来若干优势。除了患者伤害保险之外,对于国家免疫计划,还可能由联邦政府承担责任。
