Regarding the problem of the “scissors gap” of medical insurance, we need to worry, but we also need to have confidence in solving it. Although the long-term pressure on medical insurance funds is increasing under the severe situation of population aging, ten years ago, there were still three employees supporting one retired employee.

In the long run, there may be fewer and fewer people paying money, and more and more people spending money, and the medical expenses of the elderly will increase with age. This “scissors gap” will undoubtedly bring huge pressure to the sustainability of medical insurance financing and operation. However, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Referring to Japan, where the aging population is more serious, in addition to drastic price control reforms, Japan has promoted the operation of the national health ...
