加拿大将普及健康保险计划发展为长期保险健制度,为美国在这方面所做的类似工作提供了可贵的经验。加拿大大多数省实行的普及的长期保健制度包括对身体功能不全人的健康保险、个人保健和社会服务。这种服务对象包括集中居住的人员(如医护疗养所的病员)和分散居住的病员。能否享受保健待遇主要取决于身体功能不全的情况,而不是取决于个人收入。 Canada has developed the universal health insurance plan into a long-term insurance health system, which has provided valuable experience for similar work done by the United States in this area. The universal long-term health care system in most provinces in Canada includes health insurance, personal health care and social services for physically dysfunctional people. This kind of service target includes concentrated residents (such as patients in medical and nursing homes) and scattered residents. Whether or not you can enjoy health benefits depends mainly on physical insufficiency, not on personal income.
