药品价格虚高给患者和国家医疗保障体系带来了沉重的负担,虽然政府进行了不断的探索和努力,但问题依旧严重。2005年8月,笔者对河南省舞钢市的药品市场进行了调研,发现公立医院在药品价格虚高问题上起了决定性作用。要从根本上降低药价,必须改革医院的补偿机制,削弱公立医院的垄断地位。 The inflated drug prices have put a heavy burden on patients and the national medical security system. Although the government has made continuous explorations and efforts, the problem is still serious. In August 2005, the author conducted a survey on the drug market in Wugang City, Henan Province and found that public hospitals played a decisive role in the problem of high drug prices. To fundamentally reduce drug prices, it is necessary to reform the hospital’s compensation mechanism and weaken the monopoly position of public hospitals.
