Japan is considering introducing fees for creating care plans, reflecting an ongoing approach to curb the mounting social security costs. As the country known for its super-aging population, this new policy aims to ensure sustainable social security systems. It's unclear when the changes will be implemented and what the planned fee structure would be. The decision has been met with a mixed response from citizens, raising concerns about its potential impact on the elderly and disadvantaged.

In Japan, the issue of minimizing social security costs is a fundamental concern due to its rapidly ageing population. The introduction of fees for care plan disbursement has sparked debate, with some siding with the government's move to sustain the healthcare system, while others criticize it as a burdensome move for those in need of care, especially the elderly.

In contrast to Japan, care plans in countries like the United States and some in the European Union often involve insurance companies as intermediaries. Although fees may apply, comprehensive care plans are often incorporated into larger health packages. Fee-for-service models are more common, putting the focus on treatment procedure costs rather than planning fees.
