According to a 2023 survey compiled by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on the status of medical institutions accepting foreign patients, 18.3% of hospitals that accepted foreign patients in the month of September 2023 had unpaid medical fees. The figure in the 2010 survey was 19.9%. With the number of inbound tourists (foreign visitors to Japan) increasing rapidly, a response is becoming urgent. The ministry conducted a survey of hospitals across the country, receiving responses from 5,184 hospitals, or about 60% of the total. In September 2011, 2,813 hospitals accepted foreign patients, accounting for 54% of the total. Of these, 516 hospitals had outstanding payments from foreign patients. The average number of unpaid cases per facility per month was 3.9, with the highest number reaching 40 per month. The highest unpaid amount per case was 18.46 million yen, exceeding the previous record of 5.22 million yen in the fiscal 2010 survey. The average total monthly unpaid amount is 490,000 yen. There were 10 facilities that exceeded 5 million yen per month. The unpaid amount per case was 50,000 yen or less in 74% of cases. There were 42 cases of unpaid amounts exceeding 1 million yen, a significant increase from 12 cases in fiscal 2010. Continue reading below.

The Japanese government needs to act quickly
I wonder what other countries do about these kinds of situations?
This is the time to say “Overseas…”

Is Japan’s health insurance system a slack system?
Or is the Medical Practitioners Act too based on the principle of good faith?
Thank you, LDP.

Why are Japanese people so nice? Isn’t it because they’re so soft-spoken that they’ve declined?

They became servile after losing the war.
Both the right and the left are traumatized by the humiliating experience of begging for “give me chocolate” right after the war, and to avoid that, they are cleverly subservient, using sophistry to save face for their respective positions.

What’s more, the Komeito, Constitutional Democratic Party, Communist Party, and Reiwa Social Democratic Party are trying to give voting rights to foreigners.

If you don’t let them put in a deposit, they’ll run away. Or take their passport.

Before examining them, they should take a copy of their passport or something, and if they default, they should be banned from re-entering the country, and they should be put on a wanted list in Japan and arrested when they leave the country.

This should be prohibited by law. Why are they opening up infrastructure built with Japanese social insurance premiums to foreigners?

Countries with a large number of unpaid debts should tighten visa regulations.

It’s unfair.
Japanese citizens are taxed like crazy, but foreigners only pay 10% if they pay, and there are no penalties or forced collections if they don’t.
I heard that NHK also forces Japanese citizens to pay, but broadcasts its signals for free to foreigners.
It’s cruel to Japanese citizens, but a paradise for foreigners.

20% means Japan is being taken advantage of.

Japanese people have collectively decided to accept foreigners, so we should be patient and put up with a few things.

Is this intentional?

If you rush to the emergency room after an accident, it’s impossible.
There are probably even criminals who deliberately plan accidents in Japan.

The problem is with Keidanren, which wants to bring in foreigners to bring in cheap labor, and the LDP is backing it up.
