The health care sector has become a major component of the
contemporary econo mies of Japan and the United States. It absorbs
significant proportions of the GDP in both countries and places
increasing stress on private, government and corporate budgets. As
their income rises, the citizens ofJapan and the United States
choose to allocate increasing portions of it on health care
services because ofthe direct contri bution of health care services
to prolonged life expectancy, reduced morbidity, or other
indicators of improved health and well-being. The health care
sector is a ma jor source ofemployment and affects the lives of all
citizens. Adequate health care services are expected to have an
important contribution to the quality of human life in any society.
With so much at stake, arrangements for planning, financing, and
operating health care service systems have increasingly come to be
regarded as im portant economic and political issues. The political
importance of health care is evidenced by the health care reform
proposals of the Clinton administration in the United States and
the deep involve ment of the government in the medical care
security system in Japan. As policy makers in both countries look
ahead to the coming decades, they realize that the imperatives of
economic restructuring, globalization, and their rapidly aging
socie ties will affect the way in which health care is organized,
delivered, and financed."
