To me, the Medical Association election is geopolitical.
The past seemed to be a power struggle between Tokyo and Kansai.
Deep down is the struggle between the Tokyo central power and the local power.
Genji and Heike? (different imperial name)
Medical insurance is uniform nationwide at 10 yen per point.
Management is difficult in Tokyo, where labor and land costs are high.
Cheaper regions have lower costs.
Because Tokyo has a large population, there are many patients.
There are few regions.
Tokyo has many public medical institutions such as university hospitals and many doctors.
Locals are the opposite.
Since the regional economic disparity is too large, how about changing the unit price from 9 yen to 11 yen for each prefecture?
How about letting each medical institution freely decide the unit price by self-declaration?
Then, in the same way as self-pay treatment, can we call it a public medical insurance system?
Anyway, the reality of management is quite complicated, with a nationwide uniform unit price system and a free business practice system.
A glasswork system.
Anyway, it looks like a power struggle between Tokyo and the provinces.
Opinions are divided on the idea that measures against coronavirus should be left to the government, and the opinion that the medical association should be more actively involved.
I want a representative of the medical community to be appointed Lieutenant Governor.
I wonder if wards and cities would be able to implement regional medical policies if a doctor were appointed as vice president, but I have never met a politician who would listen to my opinion.
By the way, the next doctor’s chairman was elected from Saitama.
In fact, Saitama is a prefecture with few doctors per population.
It may be an intermediate area connecting Tokyo and the countryside.
I want doctors to step out of hospitals and into society.
There are many doctors, politicians, civic activists, film directors, and businessmen in the world.
Japan is on the low side.
In the central government, doctors are called technical officers.
I want him to become a leader in social policy and social reform.
As a student of public health, I hope so.
