    Improve medical price, is by no means on the reform cost, more is not a burden on patients, but by rationalize distorted medical price system, enhance the value of people, reduce the consumption of content, reversed transmission from "sell" medicine doctor to return to the role of "technology"
 
    Recently, a senior leadership to the investigations, a Chinese medicine told him that his own massage therapy services prices only dozens of dollars per hour, and outside wash feet "city", the price of an hour massage service have hundreds of yuan. The doctor felt neither the value of labor, and without dignity.
 
    Wash feet massage is inferior to the cross, his belly as eel, craniotomy is not like a haircut... This kind of phenomenon, reflects the Chinese medical service price very reasonable. In recent ten years, due to the labor price is low, seriously greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the medical staff. 3 armour hospital in Beijing, for example, a terminal lung cancer surgery, fight a six, seven or eight hours technical service fee less than 1000 yuan; High strength of primary care, one day is only 9 yuan. Doctors do acupuncture and moxibustion, 4 yuan; Done once per cutem, charge 3 yuan. To do a massage, is 10 yuan. So cheap labor, make the doctor's mind "hurt". Quipped a doctor, to the park to see monkey tickets have to spend a few yuan of money, and were only a few yuan hang a visit, a doctor might as well see monkey expensive.
 
    Distortion of medical price, led to the distortion of the medical behavior. In under the condition of insufficient government input is outpatient service, surgery, basic is at a loss, the doctor can only use other ways to compensate for lack of income. For example, allow patients to do more tests and inspections, use more supplies and medicines in the surgery. All in all, the wool is on sheep's body, the patient is innocent "sheep". Because of medical consumption is dominated by the doctors, patients with no room for bargaining, can only be "a while" under the "fish". As a result, many people spent shouldn't spend money not only, also ate shouldn't eat medicine, antibiotics abuse is the most typical case. Nowadays, excessive, excessive examination has become one of the big problems, public hospital cured, medical prices deviate from the value of law is one of the root cause.
 
    Since medical so unreasonable price, why can not adjust? Because the price is a sensitive people's livelihood problems. Think a lot of government departments, high price index, a doctor, your voice is heard medical fuel price rise not again? Even hold a hearing, most people's attitude will be down is happiness,, smells rose gets angry, does not support prices. As a result, the medical price adjustment on hold, yituo is more than a decade.
 
    In fact, the doctors all over the world is to rely on technology to have a meal, but doctors in China by selling medicine to eat, the doctor became the terminal link of drug sales. In many hospitals, doctor's income has nothing to do with technology, has nothing to do with labor, and related to the degree of "can". Its deep reason lies in the fact that technical value of the intangible value, tangible drug prices seriously "straight", the value of things more than the value of a man. Medicine for the medical, is deformed medical price of the product. If the doctor's labor technology has risen, the doctor can gain by a doctor with dignity, the high break medicine for medical resistance will be greatly reduced.
 
    Health reform into the deepwater area ", the biggest "iceberg" is the unreasonable medical price system. For now, prices keep falling, is the "window period" price reform. If seize the opportunity to take advantage of an opportunity to make medical price in place, so it can reflect the labor value and dignity of the medical staff, will greatly arouse the enthusiasm of medical personnel, and release more reform dividends. If the timid, rush in where angels fear to tread, is likely to miss reform opportunity, affect health globally.
 
    Let medical price rises, is by no means on the reform cost, more is not a burden on patients, but by rationalize distorted medical price system, enhance the value of people, reduce the consumption of content, reversed transmission doctors from "selling medicine man" return to the role of "technology", the reasonable diagnosis and reasonable treatment, reduce waste, eventually reduce medical expenses and health-care spending, let the medical staff inspired, let the people to affordable health care goals.
