Health is the right of every citizen must be guaranteed in
full by the state. However, a recent study of 13 industrialized countries in
the world shows that the Japanese health care costs the least while the United
States spends the largest expenses, but without providing superior health care.
According to a report from The Commonwealth Fund, the United States spends nearly U.S. $ 8,000 or Rp 74 million per person in 2009 to pay for health care services.
This figure is larger than the other 12 countries studied are Australia, Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland.
In contrast, Japan spent the least cost is 2878 dollars per capita or USD 26.5 million in 2008.
The Commonwealth Fund itself is a private foundation concerned about the improvement of health care services in the United States.
The amount of expenditures for health care services in the U.S. more than 17 percent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) was in 2009, while Japan just under 9 percent of GDP.
"Japan's operating system but with a paid service that offers unlimited access to specialists, hospitals and the supply of MRI and CT scans are great," the report said.
In contrast, in the U.S. health care system besieged by higher service rates and extent of the obesity epidemic, although the technology is more accessible.
The report also stated that the United States bagged the title as the country with the highest death rate from asthma and amputansi. This is related to diabetes are preventable and the average death rate in hospitals due to heart attack and stroke.
Price of prescription drugs is also a third more common in the United States than in Canada and Germany. Even more than double that paid for the same drugs in Australia, Britain, France, the Netherlands and New Zealand.
"Many Americans assume that people get more health care services than in other countries, but the fact is we do not often visit the doctor or hospital," said David Squires, senior researcher at The Commonwealth Fund as reported by AFP on Friday ( 04/05/2012).
"Maybe the high cost we pay for health care and heavy use mahallah technologies that tend to explain the reasons for the high health spending in the U.S.. Unfortunately, we did not get a better quality of service for this high spending," said Squires.
