医疗体制改革的讨论已经延续了好几年,目前基本达成了一个共识:中国政府应当担起医改的责任,中国的医改应当为构建和谐社会打下基础。由于历史的原因,我国过去少有从社会性角度考虑和制定的社会政策。笔者认为,医疗卫生首先是一项重要的社会政策,医疗体制改革需要从社会政策研 The discussion on the reform of the medical system has continued for several years. At present, a consensus has basically been reached: The Chinese government should assume the responsibility for medical reform. China’s medical reform should lay the foundation for building a harmonious society. Due to historical reasons, there have been few social policies in our country that were considered and formulated from a social perspective. The author believes that medical and health care is first and foremost an important social policy. The reform of the medical system needs to be studied from social policies.
