药价虚高的诊断与治理

从行政方式解决药价虚高问题并没有抓住症结，因此效果不佳。从市场角度看，药品作为医疗主业下的配售产品，其配售型市场结构必然导致垄断，这是构成药价虚高的重要因素。同时，药品由患对医生的委托-代理选择问题和药品需求的小弹性，是构成药价竞争中推动药价走高的更特殊的因素。因此，药价虚高是药品市场结构造成的，而不是政府行政方式不当造成的，解决的方式也应该是改变药品市场结构。改变药品市场结构，以市场竞争根治药价虚高，需要调整医疗体系的结构，需要建立自主型的药品市场，需要在变革中以政府各部门的综合力量来推动和协调。

Diagnosis and treatment for the illness of high drug price

solving the problem of high drug price by administration doesn't suit the medicine to the illness and is inefficient. As tying products under medcial service, drugs have been in monopoly market and this causes high drug price. Furthermore, drug market has other characters such as principal-agent problem, inelastic demand of drug that also is the factors of high drug price.It is obvious that the problem of high medicine price is caused by special drug market structure but not by government supervising mistake. So the drug market sturucture must be changed by adjusting medicine system structure and building new autonomous drug market through combining the power of some government supervisers.
