According to your wikipedia link, Taiwan has medicare for everyone. And it seems they have the same problems we do with our medicare: Even with all their success in their health care system, Taiwan has suffered some misfortunes. The government is not taking in enough money to cover the services it provides, so it is borrowing money from banks. [15] The revenue base is capped so it does not keep pace with the increase in national income. Premiums are regulated by politicians [16] and they are afraid to raise premiums because of voters. The country is slow at adopting technology except for drugs. There is a low doctor-to-population ratio resulting in too many patients depending on too few doctors. Patients visit the doctor more frequently causing doctors to keep visits short to about 2 to 5 minutes per patient. en.wikipedia.org If this is the envy of the world, our medicare system must be the envy of the world too.
