An interview with an expert on Taiwan's system +Percentage GDP spent on health care: 6.3
Average family premium: $650 per year for a family for four.
Co-payments: 20 percent of the cost of drugs, up to $6.50; up to $7 for outpatient care;
$1.80 for dental and traditional Chinese medicine. There are exemptions for major diseases,
childbirth, preventive services, and for the poor, veterans, and children.

What is it? Taiwan adopted a "National Health Insurance" model in 1995 after studying
other countries' systems. Like Japan and Germany, all citizens must have insurance,
but there is only one, government-run insurer. Working people pay premiums split with
their employers; others pay flat rates with government help; and some groups, like the
poor and veterans, are fully subsidized. The resulting system is similar to Canada's --
and the U.S. Medicare program.

How does it work? Taiwan's new health system extended insurance to the 40 percent
of the population that lacked it while actually decreasing the growth of health care spending.
The Taiwanese can see any doctor without a referral. Every citizen has a smart card,
which is used to store his or her medical history and bill the national insurer. The system
also helps public health officials monitor standards and effect policy changes nationwide.
Thanks to this use of technology and the country's single insurer, Taiwan's health care system
has the lowest administrative costs in the world.

What are the concerns? Like Japan, Taiwan's system is not taking in enough money to
cover the medical care it provides. The problem is compounded by politics, because it i
s up to Taiwan's parliament to approve an increase in insurance premiums, which it has
only done once since the program was enacted.
