台灣全民健保 讓諾貝爾獎得主也稱讚
【聯合報╱本報訊】Taiwan's National Health Insurance(NHI) system is lauded internationally, winning praise even from Paul Krugman,Nobel prize laurate in economics.With a very low monthly payment, the public can enjoy the services from the NHI network. Only a small copayment is required when receiving medical treatment,and most of the medical expenses incurred are covered by the NHI.NHI is also praised for its convenience, with 92.8% of the medical institutions in Taiwan affiliated to it. Many Taiwanese living abroad love to come back to Taiwan to take advantage of this convenient and inexpensive system.台灣的全民健保,讓諾貝爾獎經濟得主也稱讚,因為民眾平均每月繳交新台幣數百元至幾千元,即可享有完整的醫療服務。民眾看病,只要付「部分負擔」,其他均由健保買單,而且全台百分之九十二點八的醫療院所均為健保特約,民眾就醫非常方便,而且幾乎沒什麼限制。甚至有長住歐美的人每年專程回台復保、看病,因為比起來,台灣健保是便宜吃到飽。
