【摘要】：本文以旧金山的华侨华人为切入点,论述19世纪中期到20世纪中期他们争取医疗平等权利的斗争。受19世纪70年代以来美国愈演愈烈的排华运动的影响,旧金山作为华侨华人聚居的第一大城市,排华运动走的更远,医疗领域的排华便是一个例证。法律上旧金山政府在征收华侨华人医疗税的情况下,却不允许华侨华人进入市立县立医院就医；19世纪后期旧金山市立县立医院和济贫院准许华侨入住的人数更是微乎其微；1875-1876年发生在旧金山的天花,1900年腺鼠疫事件,则是医疗排华的具体表现。华侨在医疗领域之所以受到排斥,除了美国社会大的排华背景外,还包括旧金山政府和华侨自身两方面的原因。由于旧金山政府对华侨传统就医方式中医药的偏见、歧视和对他们实行医疗隔离政策,使得华侨在医疗领域未受到公平待遇。而华侨自身居住环境的恶劣诱发疾病,华侨对传统就医方式的认同和延续,华侨自身经济基础薄弱语言水平低,所有这些都成为华侨在医疗领域遭受排斥的动因。经过19世纪中期到20世纪中期华侨华人一个多世纪的努力,华侨华人终于获得了医疗权利上的平等待遇。此外,旧金山政府还兴修了华埠内的公共住房,大大改善了华侨华人的生存环境,在此基础上,旧金山政府和民众对唐人街和华人社会的认识也出现了新变化。
[Abstract]:Based on the overseas Chinese in San Francisco, this paper discusses their struggle for equal rights in medical care from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. Influenced by the increasingly anti-Chinese movement in the United States since the 1870s, San Francisco, as the largest city inhabited by overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese, has gone further, as exemplified by the exclusion of Chinese in the medical field. According to the law, the San Francisco government did not allow overseas Chinese to enter the municipal and county hospitals for medical treatment under the condition of levying a medical tax on overseas Chinese. In the late 19th century, the number of residents allowed by the San Francisco County Hospital and the poorhouse was even less than that of the overseas Chinese. Smallpox occurred in San Francisco from 1875 to 1876, and plague in 1900 was a specific manifestation of medical exclusion. The exclusion of overseas Chinese in the medical field includes both the San Francisco government and the overseas Chinese themselves, in addition to the American society's anti-Chinese background. Because of the prejudice of the San Francisco government against the traditional Chinese medicine, discrimination and the policy of medical isolation, the overseas Chinese were not treated fairly in the field of medical treatment. However, the poor living environment of the overseas Chinese, the recognition and continuation of the traditional way of seeking medical treatment, the weak economic base of the overseas Chinese and the low language level have all become the reasons for the exclusion of the overseas Chinese in the medical field. After more than a century of efforts from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, the overseas Chinese were finally treated equally on the right to medical treatment. In addition, the San Francisco government also built public housing in Chinatown, which greatly improved the living environment of overseas Chinese. On this basis, the San Francisco government and people's understanding of Chinatown and Chinese society has also undergone new changes.
