If we want universal insurance and unlimited patient and doctor choice, costs will continually spiral upward, because there will be no reason or no one to stop them. We have a variant of that today - a cost - plus system, with widespread insurance and open - ended reimbursement (偿还). Higher costs push up premiums (保险费) and taxes. That’s one reason health spending has gone from 5 percent of gross domestic product in 1960 to 16 percent in 2007. But controlling spending requires limits on patients and doctors.

Fears of poor job prospects may have similar consequences. When Swedish researchers asked 21 - year - olds about their health during a recession, they reported more problems than a comparison group during a boom.
While NICE’s decisions have angered some doctors and patient groups -particularly some oncologists (肿瘤科医生) who say they are unable to prescribe expensive, life- extending cancer drugs- mainstream politicians, the media and most Britons accept NICE’s rare rejections as a necessary compromise to keep universal coverage affordable in the face of rising health -care costs.
