Study on Confirmation and Measurement of Health Care Reform Cost

Abstract

It is important for reform investing that the health care reform cost is fully and scientifically confirmed and measured. We should not only pay attention to the explicit cost, but also to the intangible cost. The paper mainly measured intangible cost caused by system environment, system constraints, the public response and sunk cost by using qualitative and quantitative survey methods, and then by combining direct and retrograde methods, so the explicit cost was measured. Depend on such analysis, we can comprehensively evaluate the cost of health care reform, and provide information support for scientifically setting the goals of health care reform.
