"Taiwan boasts a unique combination of low consultation and treatment
fees and easy access to doctors in teaching hospitals. Huang Fu-yuan
notes that in Taiwan a single deductible outpatient consultation fee
comes to approximately NT$200, compared to more than NT$1,000 in
Japan and more than NT$2,000 in the USA. Taiwanese patients get more
bang for their buck.
診療費便宜、教授級醫生輕易可見更是絕無僅有。黃
富源指出，在台灣門診一次的自負額約200元台幣，和
日本上千元台幣、美國二千多台幣相比，實在「俗又
大碗」。"
Needless to say, Japan and Taiwan have national health insurance
systems; the USA doesn't.
