Although the National Health Insurance, many people sign up for private health insurance to alleviate their financial burden. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between private health insurance and subjective financial burden about cost sharing. To confirm the effect we conducted the binary logistic regression by utilizing the Health Care Policy related to public survey. The private health insurance have a significantly association with the subjective financial burden about cost sharing. People who uninsured to purchase private health insurance were more likely to have the burden. Therefore, given the low participation rate of private medical insurance for high age and low income group, we suggest the need for redefining the role of private insurance to enhance the function and resolve equity issues to prepare for the burden.

2006년 사회복지 · 보건분야 재정지출이 55조원 규모로 정부 총지출 221조원에서 복지재정이 차지하는 비중이 25%에 이른다고 발표되었다. 정부예산정책처에 따르면 2006년 보건복지부 소관 예산은 10조3,88억 원으로 2005년 비해 12.7% 증가하여 이는 정부 예산 증가율의 2배에 해당된다. 그러나 이는 과거 ‘SOC분야’의 주택부문이 복지분야로 분류체계가 변하면서 발생한 통계적 수치 변화에 불과하다. 2006년 기준으로 12조 1,496억 원 규모의 건설교통부 소관 주택부문 재정이 복지 분야로 포함되었으며, 이로 인해 2006년 예산이 획기적으로 늘어난 것처럼 보이는 것일 뿐 사실상 사회복지 · 보건 분야 재정지출은 12조1,496억 원을 제외하면 42조5,042억 원이다. 정부는 이를 통해 국민기초생활보장의 내실화의 차상위 빈곤계층 지원을 통한 사회안전망의 확충, 저출산 · 고령사회에 대비한 투자 확대 및 공공보건의료 기반을 강화해 ‘사회양극화’를 해소하겠다고 하고 있지만, 여전히 소득보장 기능이 미흡하고 지역 간 복지 불평등 문제를 심화시키며, 재원조달방안이 없는 등 여러 문제점을 안고 있다.

Along with the advances in medical technology and the economic development, more terminally ill patients are receiving hospice and palliative care services. Moreover, hospice and palliative care clinicians have been showing considerable interest in studies that aim to improve the quality of said care for patients and their families. Meanwhile, after the government has strengthened its policy to protect research participants, the institutional review boards (IRBs) are more closely examining various ethical issues related to patients' vulnerability when reviewing protocols for hospice and palliative care research. However, terminally ill patients should be provided with guaranteed qualities of hospice and palliative care to improve and maintain their quality of life. To that end, support should be provided for efforts to conduct ethical and safe studies with hospice and palliative care patients. Thus, this review paper proposes ethical guidelines for hospice and palliative care research. The guidelines could be appropriately used as a reference for researchers who should prepare for ethically safe and scientifically valued research protocols and the IRBs that will review the protocols.

독일의 응급구조업무의 조직은 독일 기본법(GG) 제30조, 제70조에 따라 오로지 연방부들에게 있다. 유럽 연합은 기술적 조직적 통일성과는 별도로 각각의 국민들의 건강보호의 일부분으로 응급구조의 조직과 재정에서 상당히 광범위하게 재량을 인정하고 있으며 이에 따라 유럽연합의 시스템과 정책들의 입법적 조화를 사실상 포기하고 있는 실정이다. 독일연방주들은 자신들의 주응급구조법률(LRDG)에서 응급구조업무의 보장을 일반적으로 재차 지방자치단체(주 근교도시중심)에게 독자적인 업무로서 인정하고 있다(가령 슐레비히 홀스타인주 응급구조법(RDGSH) 제6조). 이러한 주들은 응급구조를 자신의 관할지역에 대해 준비하고 스스로 운영하거나 운영통제할 수 있는 구조목적의 단체들(RZV)과 공동협력을 할 수 있다. 각각의 업무능력과 법적인 기준에 따라 구조 목적의 단체들(RZV)은 자신의 이름으로 응급구조를 운영하거나 하나 또는 다수의 기관(공공 구조서비스 혹은 사설 구조서비스)에게 시행을 위임할 수 있다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구에서는 독일의 경우 의사가 직접 현장 의료를 담당하고 있다는 점에서최근 입법을 통해 응급구조사의 교육과정을 개편하고 있으며, 질적 향상을 통해 응급의사와 응급구조사의 권한범위에서 독일 응급구조사의 권한확대가 시도되고 있다는 시사점을 도출하고 있다.

Although National Health Insurance(NHI) in the South Korea has guaranteed access to health insurance coverage to virtually all the people, a significant portion of out-of-pocket spending can create substantial financial burdens for some beneficiaries, particularly those with low incomes. Previous studies have estimated the magnitude of out-of-pocket spending by types of chronic illness or in- and out-patients. Prior estimates, however, have not given a complete picture of the impact of health care costs on lower-income populations. The result from this study shows that 20 percent of beneficiaries in the lowest-income quintile spent more than twelve percent of their household equivalent income out-of-pocket health services, whether they were enrolled in a Health care services or not. In comparison, the beneficiaries in the highest-income quintile level spent only 2 percent of their income out-of-pocket on health care. Also, the regression analysis suggests that age, household income, number of chronic illness, type of hospital in addition to the number of usage may affect the size of out-of-pocket spending.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of unmet medical need using data from the Korea Health Panel study from 2009 to 2013 (excluding 2010), and to analyze the trends of unmet medical need and related factors. The subjects of this study were 11,598 in 2009, 11,035 in 2011, 10,584 in 2012, 10,099 in 2013, and 7,144 people in panel data, and conducted frequency analysis, chi-square test and generalized estimating equation. As a result of the analysis by year, it was found that women, under middle school graduation, medical aid, the lowest household income and low subjective health status experienced more unmet medical need. As a result of analysis using generalized estimating equation, women, under 40 years of age, under elementary school graduation, lowest quartile household income, subjective health status of less than 20 points, and activity restrictions are more likely to experience unmet medical need. Based on these results, we intend to provide basic data for establishing policies on the use of medical services.

Under the Act on Medical Technicians, etc. in Korea, medical technicians are supposed to perform their duties under the guidance of a doctor or dentist. However, considering the actual work behavior, domestic and international trends, and the level of education of medical technicians, professionalism must be recognized. Such a professional and independent operating system must guarantee the autonomy of medical technicians, and it can be said that changes are necessary in law. In other words, it is necessary to change to "request and prescription" rather than "supervision" according to the needs of the times when the concept of "request" and "cooperation" is applied in many countries and an excellent curriculum. These changes can be called the demands of the times and changes for the improvement of medical services and social contribution.

In this study, based on survey data from Japan, I analyzed the differences between the expectations for social security and the perception of life in old age by age group. The analysis data used in this study are from the "Survey on Life Security, 2019" conducted by the Japan Life Insurance Cultural Center, which surveyed men and women aged 18 to 69. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, expectations about health insurance are higher than expectations about other forms of social security in all age groups. Second, when it comes to expectations for public pensions, both men and women have the highest average scores in their 60s. Third, the age group with the lowest average score for public health insurance, public pension, public care insurance, and survivors' pension was found to be those in their 40s. In addition, men in their 20s had a higher average score on their perception of life in old age. Fourth, the effect of social security expectations on perception of life in old age was found to be somewhat different for gender and age groups, but overall, it was found that public health insurance expectations were an important factor that had a positive impact on the perception of life in old age.
