1965-1977年人均保健费用增加了一倍,它成了一个公众深切关心的问题。数月来,住院率的下降已达最终点,手术入院有所上升。另外,诸如患病日数,手术率,同类医院的收费,以及可比人群的病床,医生和护士数目,这些关键指数各州间仍有很大差异。在许多拥有昂贵技术的公立医院中明显存在工作效率低下的问题。此外,医疗结构也在改变,人口在老年化;现在增长最快的是75岁以上年龄组,预计1990年前该组将占人口的5％,现在则为3.7％,75岁以上病人的入院率比65岁到74岁的高54％。
The per capita health care costs doubled from 1965 to 1977, and it became a matter of deep public concern. In the past few months, the decline in hospitalization rates has reached the final point, and hospital admissions have increased. In addition, the number of days such as the number of sick days, the rate of surgery, the charges for hospitals of the same type, and the number of beds, doctors and nurses of comparable populations, these key indices are still quite different among states. In many public hospitals with expensive technology, there is a clear problem of inefficient work. In addition, the medical structure is also changing, and the population is aging; the fastest growing group is the age group 75 and older. It is expected that the group will account for 5% of the population before 1990, and it is now 3.7%. Patients over 75 years of age are admitted to the hospital. The rate is 54% higher than 65 to 74 years old.
