美国的大企业主已在积极地对医疗费用增长采取具体的控制行动,其背景是由于大企业对医疗费用的负担感到沉重,他们不但要负担现有职工的医疗费用,还要负担退休职工的医疗费用,例如据某汽车制造公司的统计,其医疗费用的负担已占汽车价格的10%,并且导致原材料价格的上升,因而直接影响到美国企业在国际上的竞争能力。 Large business owners in the United States have actively taken concrete control actions on the growth of medical expenses. The background is that large companies are heavy on the burden of medical expenses. They not only have to bear the medical expenses of existing workers, but also bear the burden of retired employees. Medical expenses, for example, according to the statistics of a car manufacturing company, the burden of medical expenses has accounted for 10% of the car price, and it has led to an increase in the price of raw materials, which directly affects the ability of U.S. companies to compete internationally.
