US and Taiwan healthcare systems and taxation

Lots of discussion about that here over the years. For example:

Taipei Times letter to editor medical care Taiwan vs USA

Interesting letter to editor from Taiwanese living in USA about medical care comparing Taiwan and USA

US and Taiwan healthcare systems and taxation

Taiwan’s government-run healthcare systems works because there’s no parasitic lawyer lobby running a legal lottery on the back of the healthcare system and healthcare providers can’t charge sick, injured and dying patients anything they want. Those two conditions will unfortunately never be met in America’s crony socialism political system.

Unpopular opinion: healthcare in Taiwan is very bad

1st myth healthcare is free: healthcare is not free. also, you most likely need to be employed to enjoy NHI. each visit costs you 200 to 400 ntd whatever your visits may be (including a 2 minute consultation)… which leads to the 2nd myth 2nd myth doctors are good and serve your best interest: most doctors are forced into being doctors. they’re usually the brightest in class. they’re told that their scores can get into med school but if you combine greed and intelligence, you get unethical doct…

Is Taiwans healthcare really better? Or just better than America?

I see. Thanks. Is it just caregivers or is this the same process if you want to have domestic help? How common is it for folks to have housekeepers, babysitters, home cooks etc. here in Taiwan?
