Every once in a while, we like to take a moment and focus on health systems around the world. Today, we're looking at Taiwan, which made the transition to a single payer system kind of suddenly, and pretty recently.

I've actually been to a Taiwanese hospital & at first I was a bit overwhelmed by how crowded and simple the emergency department was. It was basically one giant room with beds along all walls and some in the middle. Lots of doctors and nurses were treating everyone at the same time. But everything was quick. Multiple specialists got to see me, instead of one general care doctor. And when I went to take x-rays. I got laid down on a computer controlled bed that would automatically move me to all the different spots for shots. Somewhat like a 3d printer does... Basically, what needed to be was really high tech, but when it wasn't necessary it would be low tech, but really efficient. A lot better than the inefficient money wasting system we have in the Netherlands IMO.

An ER doctor may have to take care of up to 150 patients during a shift of 12 hours. Such overloading actually takes down the quality of care. Important details are frequently skipped to increase efficiency or lower the cost. High price medical devices designed for only single use are usually resanitized and reused. These are only some of the examples of inconvenient trade-offs for low cost. I believe no other developed countries have similar practices. That's why the healthcare in Taiwan costs only 6% of GDP and patients still have the freedom to shop around.

I am from Taiwan and worked there for a while. When I started working, I needed to start my own healthcare plan (as opposed to being on my parents's plan). So I took a trip to the city hall to sign up. The whole process took less than 20 minutes. And I didn't need to think about it at all afterwards. Now I'm working in the US. Simply figuring out how the system works took me hours, I'm spending more than 10 times as much for my premium, and the coverage is shit compared to what I had in Taiwan. And even for things that are covered, the costs are still higher than what I usually pay in Taiwan. Right now I work in biotech industry where there are a lot of foreign workers from Europe and Asia. Almost everyone I talk to agrees that the US system is the worst they have ever experienced. Pretty much the only possible way that the US system is good for someone, is if that someone is really really rich, and has cancer or some rare-disease that require the most advanced research to cure it. AND they must be rich enough to afford it.

Thanks for sharing this! Even with well-done informative videos like this one, it can be hard to link that to day-to-day life of people. I've married into a Taiwanese family and have started to talk to them about the differences in daily life where it comes to healthcare, but that can only go so far as they haven't experienced both. Hearing from someone who has is illuminating. If you don't mind my asking, do you think this will change where you choose to live in the long-term?

Yes!! I lived in Taiwan for several years and I always tell people how great the system was. My premiums were a very small percentage of my salary, and I could go to pretty much any doctor and pay a copy of $5-10. I was hospitalized for pneumonia for 4 days and it cost me $80. I found the quality of care to be similar to that of the US. I can't speak to the experiences of people suffering from longer-term issues, but overall I had no complaints. What amazed me the most is that people in Taiwan go to the doctor right away if they're sick, even if it's probably just a cold. People here in the US often wait to see if their illness will get better before seeing a doctor. From someone who's experienced both US healthcare and single-payer healthcare, I much preferred single payer.

Every health care system has pros and cons. The cheap healthcare system results in exploiting healthcare workers. I was an ICU nurse in Taiwan for two years and my annual income is 20K USD. I worked overtime every day but seldom got paid unless CPR or an emergency occurred during my shift cause the hospital said " It's your responsibility to complete your patient care for today". In addition to that, people exploit the health care system as well since it's SO cheap to see a doctor. I've seen people come into ER for nose bleeding, hangover, small scratches, headache. And sometimes if patients wait longer than a few hours in the ER, some start yelling or even punching doctors and nurses. I "enjoy" being a patient in Taiwan but not so much being a nurse there. I'm now in Canada searching for a better life but I'll certainly go back to Taiwan if I need medical care. And that's a sad truth.

You should do a video on New Zealand's healthcare system. It's unusual as it has a socialised public element, a private insurance element, and a government monopoly for-profit insurance scheme which covers healthcare needs from accidents (called ACC). The latter system is no-fault and means that protect individuals from civil liability in for accidental injury. In short, if I crash my car into yours, you can sue me for the damage to your car, but ACC will cover your healtcare, rehabilitation, and loss of income costs.

I think a health care savings plan will work for some who has the money to be set aside for their healthcare. But it must be tax free and allow all kinds of investments including gold and crypto to be tax free as long the money is used to pay bills. And have a local single payer system designed only for the town or part of the city you live similar to how school districts are broken up. The local government chooses the lowest bid healthcare provider to be the predominant provider for that city or district and all employers in that area will use the same provider. Basically using Taiwan’s model and break it up into tiny local bits all unique to other cities. No Federal government control all local control.You wouldn’t want the electric company controlling everyone’s thermostat. Locally controlled is best.

Having worked at both system, there seems to have higher patient load per doctor via antidotal observation in two trauma one hospital. Also it’s frustrating as they can not turn away “possible” emergency and seeing too many cause flags, state review, and lower reimbursement per patient visit. Imagine if you are told to work for less at a almost exponential format. They system foster over dependence, lack of self care and community based preventative health, instead the public see the Er like a pit stop. While I understand the same can be said about US ED, the patient burden and stress of reduce pay from “seeing” too many adds a lot more stressor on the provider. And it’s difficult to improve care when there is a systemic issue of again over/ineffective utilization of hospitals. Though I will say, the nationalize health card where ALL patient emr are compiled to one was amazing. It reduce doctor shopping, opiate seeking, by centralize information. If only us’s ACA mandate common coding language and billing. I’m sure EPIC and ECW won’t let that happen.

I'm about to make a Video about Health Care service and finance. I think the best model for a Health care system would be one modeled after that of ancient China, where instead of Paying your Doctor when you're sick, you pay them or the Organization they work for, a retainer to keep you healthy. -Your Insurance provider and Health care provider would one and the same. -Health care providers have huge advantage over Patients, in that they actually do have the resources and Know-how to go up against Drug companies. So having the health care provider also bare the cost of treatment and medicine, will have them seek the most cost-effective method to get you healthy as soon as possible and keep you that way for as long as possible. This would drive up the quality of care, while also driving down the costs of care, as promised by Free Market Health care theory. -To have Universal access, Public money that would have gone towards a Public Health care system, can instead be used to pay for such Retainers with reimbursable Vouchers. If a Patient finds and picks a service that is cheaper than the Voucher's limit, they can keep the change. If it Exceeds the Voucher's limit, they would only pay the difference out of their pocket. - There would be a separate scheme for Emergency care.

It’s almost to the point where people are taking it for granted. If you can name a “so and so specialist” in whatever specialty, you can pretty much get an appointment, but they can be very, very busy. A daily outpatient waiting list of 120+ is not unheard of. One thing that Taiwan could learn from US is the long term care. Home hospice care is not really a thing yet, although hospitals are beginning to dabble with it. Equipment rentals can be done with small medical equipment shops (we rented the oxygenator and mechanical bed for my grandma this way), but my recollection is that the national insurance didn’t cover those. However, since my grandpa was a veteran, the Veterans General hospital had some pretty nice rooms for my grandma.

From what I've learned, a lot of drugs are quitting from Taiwan and probably never coming back, because drugs' prices are highly regulated and keep being cut or bring down by the Bureau Of National Health Insurance(it's only a sum to be granted every year so they want drugs as cheap as possible). That and exploiting doctors by not include them in the labor law are the reasons why the health system in Taiwan appears to be better than other countries: forced cheap labors and keep down the prices of drugs. The results are patients no longer have their best drugs to use, and doctors running away from major practices like surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and emergency department. Instead they are going to plastic surgery industry, not just because the profits are higher, but they are less likely to overwork and die in early age there. The two problems are just the tip of the iceberg. It's a sinking ship and I hope people know the facts before praising it.

Hm... Most people I know (at least for my generation) doesn't really do that. My parents' generation perhaps (they are almost 70 years old now), but even in their generation, most are able to see how many things the government stand for can be a matter of national pride (which is a much bigger thing among Chinese than people from the west) rather than practical considerations. However, if you treat us in a hostile way, we tend to react in kind as well. For example, this one dude I met decided to yell at me "Taiwan is its own country, you PRC f*** off." So I had a good argument with him. A simple few examples. Catalan wants to be its own country, should Spain f*** off too? Northern Ireland wants to be with Ireland, should the Brits f*** off too? Quebec wants to be its own country, should Canada f*** off too? California wants to be its own country, should Americans f*** off too? Things go problematic if it is closer to home. For me, and most Chinese I know, we are of similar opinion. Status quo is good. Taiwan exists as its own separate country effectively but never declare full independence. China claims Taiwan to be part of its territory but never enforce that claim. Maybe one day the Taiwan people decide to be part of China. Maybe one day the communist party collapse and we all decide to be part of Taiwan. Just don't push this issue to something so big that it starts spoiling people's lives. You be nice and don't probe us about our opinion about Taiwan.

More people are dying from diseases for which we dont have a cure yet. I'd be in support of regulation that would prevent another Valeant from happening (eg dont let pharmas act as hedge funds), but the solution here is a free market approach. Also, these companies only have exclusivity in their respective markets for 20 or so years after FDA approval, which isn't very long if you consider the intricacies of drug development. If you look at innovation in the pharma industry by country, the USA has over 5x more biomedical research than the 2nd country. The rest of the world is lucky to have a country with such strong intellectual property law, free market capitalism, and incentives to create novel therapeutics.

"More people are dying from diseases for which we dont have a cure yet." Sorry, this is completely untrue. Making sure people can receive high quality care right now would save more lives than developing new treatments for diseases. "A recent analysis by our research team at Virginia Commonwealth University demonstrated that developing new treatments often does less good than ensuring the delivery of older drugs to all those in need... [T]he larger problem with our focus on medical breakthroughs is that more Americans will die as a result. Solutions that make the delivery of quality care more systematic are not as sexy as robotic surgery, gene mapping and other medical advances, but they are more apt to save lives. Failing to establish systems to ensure that everyone receives recommended care is causing greater disease and deaths at levels that can rarely be offset by medical advances." www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/06/AR2006010602269_2.html

Even Americans agree that the american empire hegemony is on decline. Guess why ? #HierarchyOvergrowth #CorruptionNecrosis

maggie Lin Silicon Valley and Hollywood do everything in their power to please China subverting regions like Macau Hong Kong Tibet and the Republic of China everyone ignores all the violence they cause like the exploitation of falun gong practitioners and the Harvest of their organs no one cares about how the people at Foxconn factories are so desperate they jump out of the building to end it all and I take it upon myself in my misguided attempt to raise awareness especially on those KZbin channels most notably those that belong to complexly that completely ignore this fact because it doesn't align with their political agenda and their friends political agendas I want to wake people up if you can't tell by my picture the color is black and yellow a representative of libertarianism and or anarcho-capitalism the exact opposite of Communism I use that Motif to construct my icon as a spoof I'm just trying to raise awareness and I do this by being provocative and argumentative I agree totally with what you're saying I'm just playing a role
