BMI View: The upgrade to our private healthcare forecast stems largely from the Vietnamese government's plan to pass hospital operating costs to patients. We highlight that this is potentially regressive should hospitals attempt to profit from such policies. Nevertheless, we remain largely optimistic towards Vietnam's healthcare sector, as it is seeking to implement universal healthcare for its population, which will improve access to services.
Headline Expenditure Projections
Pharmaceuticals: VND59,214bn (US$2.84bn) in 2012 to VND69,297bn (US$3.32bn) in 2013;

    The cost of health care in the United States remains an important concern for American consumers. The challenges for controlling costs and providing a better health care system are various and complex. These challenges, in many cases, are in the realm of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or other federal or state agencies (Department of Justice, 2012). Hospitals continue to team up with other facilities, insurers and for-profit companies, although the cause of the bump in M&A activity varies. While some hospitals cite financial problems, others join forces because of collaboration mandated under the Affordable Care Act and changing reimbursement models, according to Minnesota Public Radio (Caramenico, 2012).…

    The new social contract between the health care system and employers, patients, and the government has given everyone involved some breathing room. They have provided a clearer picture of the costs of health care; however, it is evident that there is still work to be done regarding the transparency of complete and exact costs. For example; all hospitals have a price list called the chargemaster that includes nearly 20,000 health care procedures. The prices on this list are the prices that patients will most likely see on their bills; however, the terms are not standardized and many are bundled services that make it difficult to compare them with other institutions. It is obvious that even though the public does see more of what is being paid out on their behalf and by whom, true transparency is still lacking (Curtis P. McLaughlin and Craig D. McLaughlin, 2008).…

    health care system is dysfunctional and can no longer continue as it currently operates. With or without Affordable Care Act (ACA), there is a need for a deep change. The United States spends more money on health care because a nation is less healthy on the average than the rest of the developed world. The system is dysfunctional and ACA is fast-tracking the process of changes that will be faced by the economic and business challenges by health care organizations. The required adjustments to healthcare organizations operating budgets and methodologies for delivering medicine may become a big issue. Health care organizations will have to go from volume-based reimbursement in medicine based on the number of procedures done or patients seen to a value-based system that will give the same money for every patient regardless of the procedure performed. Health care organizations may have lower income since they will treat more patients. They may face cost-pressure factors such as the overall cost of medical care and the increased incidence of chronic disease, cost transparency and reference pricing, increased government role in paying for care, increased coverage and limited highly skilled medical workforce There is a prediction that forty million more people will be covered nationally, at reimbursement rates below the cost of providing that care (Adams et al.,…

    Cost shifting has been and continues to be a problem for many hospitals and insurance companies. In broad terms cost shifting is defined as hospitals making up their losses they obtain from treatment of uninsured patients by charging higher prices and implementing higher costs towards privately insured patients. This approach in tittles claims of large rates that in return drive health care premiums to a peak cost. The continuing debate on cost shifting has brought stakeholders to provide an approach towards health care policy makers to understand that cost shifting can be both at large and inevitable in providing cost effective health care. The cause of cost shifting can be seen from many hospitals due to uncompensated care. In terms, uncompensated care is the care provided by the hospital for which the cost of treatment was not received neither from the patient or the insurer. This type of financial assistance reimburses funds or reduces costs, which can have an effect on the hospitals bad debt (Kim et al., 2009).…

    The American healthcare system of today faces many issues and problems. The growing population of elderly and high rate of unemployment has left many Americans without any type of healthcare at all. To reform healthcare that has to first the infrastructure established that is sustainable for doctors, suitable for members, and costly enough to be sponsored. Hospitals are bulking up into huge systems, merging with one another and building extensive new doctor work forces. They are exploring insurance-like setups, including direct approaches to employers that cut out the health-plan middleman. WSJ 's Anna Mathews joins the News Hub to discuss the changing face of health care in the U.S. as a result of pressure to cut costs. AP Photo. On the other side, insurers are buying health-care providers, or seeking to work with them on new cooperative deals and payment models that share the risks of health coverage. And employers are starting to take a far more active role in their workers ' care. (Wilde-Matthews, 2011) This new and innovative plan does seem to be valid and more cost-efficient. The main issue with current health care plan and especially government mandated health care plan are the doctor’s reimbursement rates for procedures. Doctors argue that current reimbursement rates are too low, causes them to lose money, and force sub-par healthcare to members. Many argue…

    Potter & Perry (2017) seek to answer some of these questions regarding cost of care. Hospitals who provide services for patients with Medicare and Medicaid “receive a set dollar amount for each patient based on the assigned diagnosis-related groups, regardless of the patient’s length of stay or use of services” (p. 15). Therefore, in order to compensate for receiving less money for certain patients care costs, other citizens within the community, not using Medicare or Medicaid, are seeing an increase in the costs for the care services they are provided with when needed. It is the goal of many states to try and stop care costs from increasing, in an attempt to return these increased costs to the lower amount that they were prior to the…

    Offering universal healthcare must be one of the government’s basic functions since this will provide cover almost 50 million people who lack healthcare cover. Even states that the UN does not regard developed, such as China, have taken forward steps towards universal care. The United States ranks with Mexico and Turkey as the being the only nations without a universal healthcare system as stated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (Salamin et al., 2011). In spite of the disconformities, the U.S spend a lot on healthcare—17.4% of the country’s GDP—compared to its counterparts that spend an average of only 10.6% as illustrated in the 2012 research conducted by the Commonwealth Fund (Salamin et al., 2011). And, whereas the country spends top dollar on health care, the real health of the people is…
