Abstract

Medicare is now 40 years old, but the blueprint was developed in the 1960s by John Deeble and Richard Scotton working at the Melbourne Institute. Starting with a desire to understand the Australian health system of the early1960s, Deeble and Scotton collected much information and data on the provision of health services and their financing. This led them to be highly critical of the health system and, in response to a challenge from the Labor leader, Gough Whitlam, the development of a new system which we now know as Medicare.

澳大利亚卫生经济学先驱：医疗保险的起源

医疗保险"（Medicare）至今已有 40 年历史，但其蓝图却是由约翰-迪布尔（John Deeble）和理查德-斯科特恩（Richard Scotton）于 20 世纪 60 年代在墨尔本研究所制定的。迪布尔和斯科特恩从了解 20 世纪 60 年代初澳大利亚医疗体系的愿望出发，收集了大量有关医疗服务提供及其筹资的信息和数据。这使他们对医疗体系提出了严厉批评，并在工党领袖戈夫-惠特拉姆的挑战下，制定了新的体系，也就是我们现在所熟知的医疗保险体系。
