5. 主文第三段：公共與私人醫療對比

   此外，醫療保健中的逐利動機可能會導致道德問題和病人護理受損。私立醫療機構可能會優先考慮利潤豐厚的治療和服務，而不是利潤較低的必要治療和服務。這種對利潤的關注可能導致對病人的過度治療，即為了最大限度地增加收入而進行不必要的檢查和手術；也可能導致治療不足，即削減成本的措施影響了所提供的醫療品質。此外，私立醫療系統的行政管理費用，包括複雜的保險處理和帳單開具，也會分散對病人護理的資源。相比之下，公費醫療系統可以專注于病人的福利，而沒有盈利的壓力。此外，營利性公司在醫療保健領域的存在會導致不同社會經濟群體之間的健康結果存在顯著差異。研究顯現，在實行醫療私有化的國家，收入水準與健康狀況之間存在著密切的相關性。較富裕的人可以負擔得起全面的保險和高品質的醫療服務，而收入較低的人則面臨著獲得保險和醫療服務的障礙，健康狀況也較差。而在實行全民醫療保健制度的國家，這種差距就不那麼明顯，因為這些國家的目標是為所有公民提供公平的醫療保健服務。

   私人醫療的隱憂

   Moreover, the profit motive in healthcare can lead to ethical concerns and compromised patient care. Private healthcare providers may prioritize lucrative treatments and services over essential but less profitable ones. This focus on profitability can result in the over-treatment of patients, where unnecessary tests and procedures are conducted to maximize revenue, or under-treatment, where cost-cutting measures affect the quality of care provided. Additionally, the administrative overhead in private healthcare systems, including the complexities of insurance processing and billing, can divert resources away from patient care. In contrast, publicly funded healthcare systems can focus on patient welfare without the pressure of generating profits. Furthermore, the presence of profit-making companies in healthcare can lead to significant disparities in health outcomes between different socioeconomic groups. Studies have shown that in countries with privatized healthcare, there is a strong correlation between income levels and health status. Wealthier individuals can afford comprehensive insurance and high-quality medical services, while those with lower incomes face barriers to access and poorer health outcomes. This disparity is less pronounced in countries with universal healthcare systems, where the goal is to provide equitable healthcare for all citizens.
