A fresh perspective on this policy dilemma may arise by considering Japan's statutory health insurance (SHI) and its financing mechanisms. Japan could be a useful model because it has an older population and it is facing similar fiscal challenges before Medicare. Japan could offer some useful perspectives from its cost containment efforts to extend Medicare's solvency. |
