During the last year, we had a very severe situation with the strike of physicians working in medical facilities. From that time, many politicians and scholars insisted on the expansion of public hospitals to enhance the public role in the medical care sector. They think that private medical facilities work for profit motivation and that the high proportion of private to whole facilities is an obstacle to the public function of medical care under social insurance system. They found that one of the reasons for failing to prevent the physicians' strike was the high proportion of private facilities. Others insisted that the strike was not a good reason for the expansion of public hospitals. The physicians' strike was a very rare case, and it is not a good basis for generalization of the discussion of public hospitals. Last year almost all apprentice physicians in public facilities took part in the strike, and consequently the public hospitals also lost the role of public function. They view this increasing involvement of government in the medical sector as improper and the cause of inefficiencies. In this paper we review the debate over the expansion of public facilities. To clarify the debate, we review traditional criteria for the role of government in a market system and to apply these criteria to medical care. There are two traditional areas where government Is acknowledged to have a role in a market system: market imperfections and market failure. Where market imperfections and market failure exist, there may be a role for government. The justifications for government intervention are consumer protection and the existence of externalities. One of externalities is to provide medical care for the poor. The appropriate measures to provide medical owe to the poor can be sought in both demand and supply side subsidies. National health insurance is a method of demand subsidies and establishment of public hospitals is a method of supply side subsidies. Under the National Health Insurance System, the expansion of public hospitals is not an appropriate subsidy policy.

As issues of education, employment and so on, the medical issue is one of the hot spots of society in China today. The health system reform which was pushed ahead after China's Revolution and open to the outside world hasn't received great progress. Many actual problems haven't been solved, for example it is difficult and expensive to see a doctor. With the development of the economy and society, the citizen's legal consciousness has gradually risen. They make a claim for better medical service. At the same time, the number of the disputes of medical care arises annually. China has sped up the opening of service trade for fulfilling promises of entry the WTO since 2001. China has already opened many service trade fields, including medical field. From the domestic perspective, there are many problems in domestic medical department. From the international perspective, China's present medical level falls behind the world advanced medical level. Under this background, it is a bold act for China to open the medical service field to foreign investors. Today, a huge medical service market is developed in China. However, the government's investment to medical devices and the financing channels is limited. Therefore, it is inevitable that individuals, social organizations and foreign investors invest to the medical market. In view of the situation, Chinese government issued a series of relevant laws and rules. In recent years, many multinational companies, consortiums, charitable institutions, enterprises and individuals establish various medical institutions in China. But there are rare research in the actuality and legal subject of foreign investment to Chinese medical market. Hence, it is necessary to realize the actuality of foreign investment to Chinese medical market, to familiar with the elements and procedure of establishing foreign joint and cooperative medical institution. Meanwhile, analyzing the existing problems and posing the legal subject have important theoretic and practical value.

Purpose - This study focused on the effect of mobile app information system quality on re-use intention in the medical service trade, and examined how the Chinese, currently the main consumer of Korea's medical service trade, obtained information through mobile apps, and the status of satisfaction felt by experiencing medical services. Design/methodology - The survey period was from November 2018 to January 2019, and was conducted on Chinese who voluntarily experienced medical services. The collected data verified causality of the study model through the statistical program, SPSS.24. The results showed that the most popular medical institution through the medical service mobile app is dermatology, and the quality of the app's information system plays a mediating role in influencing re-use intention. Findings - Overall, the current trade in medical services is first accessed and acquired through mobile apps, and as a result, consumers revisit medical institutions according to the reliability of information. Comments and likes, another new form of the word of mouth that has greatly influenced revisiting in the past, are seen to be spreading through the app's medical information. Originality/value - The previous market for the medical services trade was formed by very conservative word of mouth, but now we believe that the app's information system actively influences the revisit effect. This means that apps can be used in diverse areas in the medical service trade market. In addition, the medical service market needs to further develop a mobile app environment that can reflect consumers' diverse needs, behaviors, and culture from time to time in order to revitalize the service trade. Such an app environment development will have tremendous promotional effects on the trade market and provide directions for expanding trade in medical services.

대상판결은 시장지배적 지위 남용에 관한 다양한 쟁점을 다루었을 뿐만 아니라, 경쟁제한효과가 문제된 시장이 의료기기 시장이라는 측면에서도 여러 시사점을 제시하고 있다. 첫째, 관련상품 시장의 측면에서 대상판결이 주상품(CT, MRI 등 의료기기) 시장과 부상품(유지보수서비스) 시장이 밀접하게 관련되어 있다고 하더라도 이를 하나의 시장으로 보기 어렵다고 판단한 것은 수긍할 수 있다. 둘째, 대상판결은 고착효과에 관하여 명시적인 판시를 하지 않았으나, 관련시장에 대한 판단에서 높은 주상품 가격, 주상품의 사용연한이 장기인 점 등을 고려하는 등 실질적으로 고착효과를 반영한 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 객관적 행위 요건으로 '정상적인 거래관행에 반하는 타당성 없는 조건'에 대하여 대상판결은 저작권자가 실시료를 받고 저작권을 실시하는 행위는 정당한 권리행사이며, 원고가 유상의 라이선스 정책을 가지고 이를 실행하며, 예외적인 경우에만 무상으로 실시를 하였으므로 공정위가 주장하는 무상실시 관행을 증거로 인정할 수 없음을 지적하였다. 넷째, 이 사건에서 경쟁자의 비용 상승은 원고가 서비스 소프트웨어 사용에 필요한 서비스키를 유상으로 제공한 행위를 통하여 이루어졌고, 원고의 행위가 지식재산권의 행사로 정당하다면 설령 그러한 행위로 경쟁이 제한된다고 하여 이를 남용행위로 보기는 어렵다고 판단하였다. 대상판결이 다룬 관련시장의 획정, 시장지배력의 존부, 객관적 행위 요건, 경쟁제한효과 등 주요 쟁점에 대하여 대법원이 시장지배적 지위 남용행위의 증명기준과 증명도의 방향을 제시할 기준을 판시할 것으로 기대한다.
