Japan

I am a bit confused with the posted question: are the physicians the only profession to contribute to this Fund? If so, then it isn't justified. Since the Japanese society is egalitarian, wouldn't other professions (and every member of society) have to contribute proportionately?

Or, would it be better to have this funded through general sales tax? Granted, it's a medical advancement fund; however, all members of society will be benefiting from the innovations/services produced through this fund. As a result, it should be an equal playing field for contributions.

Now, would it be justified that physicians pay more than the average? Is it part of their occupational duty?
