Japan's universal health care hides widening gaps in coverage
Original: Japan's health care system is often held up abroad as a model of universal coverage. But universal does not mean uniform
Japan's health care system is often praised abroad as a model of universal coverage, but a recent revision to cost caps is set to widen differences in what patients actually receive. The Japan Times reports that while coverage is universal, it is far from uniform, and the change will deepen gaps in access and affordability across the country.
Why now: A recent revision to Japan's cost caps has raised concerns that universal coverage is becoming less equal.
