Hence the necessity of something like the individual health-insurance mandate of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), or of biting the bullet and adopting a single-payer system for financing health care. Either way, America needs to gets something comparable to other OECD countries’ value out of its enormous health-care expenditures.
因此2010年患者保护和平价医疗法（Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act，即“奥巴马医保”）等强制性个人医疗保险十分必要，要不然就得咬紧牙关采取单一支付的医疗融资系统了。无论如何，美国的庞大医疗支出价值需要与其他经合组织国家靠拢。
