    Healthcare reform over the past five years, the government health spending increased by more than 20% a year. But look from the statistics, the government's investment of medical and health care did not reduce the personal burden directly, individual absolute health spending is still rising year by year. Experts believe that citizens have complained that "difficulty and high cost of the doctor" problem of have no substantive relief. If the hospital operation mechanism, compensation mechanism does not change, medical expenses growth cannot effectively, so people get real benefit is still limited. (December 10, the economic information daily,)
 
    But anyone who spend money, of course, in order to achieve a certain goal. If spent a lot of money, but failed to achieve the desired effect, and how to spend this money, natural science. From this perspective, the government health spending has grown by more than 20%, the governments at various levels in 2014 is expected to cost 814 million yuan, but such a huge amount of investment, but the public feelings, rather than feel the doctor more cheaper, individual citizens instead of absolute health spending synchronous rise year by year. Why government health input, the more the public failed to empathy, to see the doctor even more and more "expensive", this actually spend money in where, also will not let people concern.
 
    Indeed, as the "follow" can also walk in the wrong direction, personal feelings this thing appeared deviation, also unavoidable. Although in the government of health care under the background of increasing investment, individual absolute health spending is not increased, seems counter-intuitive. But the feeling is ignored in the process of social development, the overall medical service demand rapid growth in the background, also did not consider the CPI uplift and the impact on the health service costs. Needless to say, if do not have financial invest heavily for medical and health care, then the result is not health service supply and demand the disconnect, personal health spending is more vigorous growth. In this sense, the government health care spending growth of value and meaning, in fact is not because of personal health spending is rising year by year and undervalued or even kill.
 
    However, the government spending on health, the public did not feel obvious benefit, the contrast between this actually is worth reflection. Admittedly, increasing investment in medical and health, will no doubt increase the supply of medical services, so as to relieve the contradiction between supply and demand of health services, and the ascension of insurance of primary medical treatment allowances, more means that the share of personal medical expenses. Since, however, is to spend money, it is not satisfied with no flowers. The government to increase health care spending, how to just calculate spent, how to make the input and output more efficient than higher, apparently more public investment to establish the necessary assessment mechanism.
 
    Specifically, medical and health care costs, the increasing scale medical service supply, priority should still make balanced health service system, whether the increased investment in public health, and standardize medical service market, introducing more market investors, different investment options, necessarily mean differences in medical and health system efficiency; In addition, the relationship between the first straighten out the drug, or just to improve the insurance subsidies standards, if the lack of health care system and clarify the interest relationship, increasing investment will be swallowed up by the vested interests chain, or let the individual benefit, nature also need to make a question mark. In reality, the individual absolute health spending is still on the rise year by year, the lack of benefit of government health spending increased, in addition to the objective demand and cost factors of lifting, increase the investment to achieve the efficiency and maximize the benefit of, I'm afraid it's also worth inventory.
 
    Based on this, medical and health services is a complicated system, how to improve and improve, increasing investment is essential, but it is not enough only willing to spend money. Increase of medical expenses is a good thing, but how to spend money, guarantee the efficiency and benefit, avoid falling into the interests of the black hole, is perhaps even more crucial link.
