Current Concerns of Health Insurance
1. Medical providers to be restructured
It is being considered to promote that information like medical files to be opened to patients, consent practice be informed, basically protection of the rights of the patients, be shared between doctors and patients.
2. Cost of health care for the elderly
The share of the elderly in the health care cost is increasing tremendously because of growing aging population. In this regard, the cost of some health services for the elderly is expected to lower.
3. Drug Price be reformed
Drug tariff is the one setting the official price of medicine. The basis is the weighted average of the market price. As an incentive, medical providers can prescribe more medicine resulting to higher medical cost. There is debate going on to change the system.
