随着医疗技术的进步和社会老龄化的迅速发展，医疗费用不断增加，已成为大多数发达国家面临的主要社会经济问题。虽然日本也不例外，目前正在讨论对医疗制度进行大幅度的改革，但也可以看出，日本人在过去10年里成为世界上预期寿命最长的国家（女性超过82岁，男性超过76岁），其战后的医疗保险制度发挥了重要作用。因此，我的理解是，邀请进行这次简短的审查，反映出需要获得有关北美大陆目前辩论的参考资料。
The steadily increasing cost of medical care associated with advancing medical technology as well as the rapid progression of generalized aging of the society has become a major socioeconomical issue confronting most developed countries. Although Japan is no exception in this regard, and a drastic modification of the health care system is now being discussed, it is also clear that its postwar health insurance system has played a major role for the Japanese achieving the longest life expectancy in the world (over 82 years for female and 76 years for male) in the past decade. It is thus my understanding that the invitation for this brief review reflects the need for reference information regarding the current debate in the North American continent.
