The difference between social security and health insurance

The national health insurance implemented in Taiwan Province Province belongs to the social insurance system, and the medical care system of this "public single social insurance system" is similar to the Canadian system.

Insurers with different identities in the national health insurance have different insurance rates, not because of health history, but because of different wages. After people have added insurance, they only need to pay the registration fee and part of the fee when they go to a medical institution with a medical insurance card. Medical institutions, on the other hand, pay by volume and apply for medical benefits from the medical insurance bureau according to the patient's medical records.

To put it simply, the first advantage is that the burden of medical expenses for internal medicine patients is greatly reduced, and the second is the benefit of free health examination (over 40 years old).

The disadvantage is that due to the reduction of medical expenses, the people's willingness to seek medical treatment has been greatly improved, which has led to the excessive growth of government medical expenses.

Similar to domestic medical insurance.
