Fee of Taiwan's National Health Insurance

Taiwan's government said that they will raise the fee of Taiwan's National Health Insurance because of the increasing debt. Well, I do agree that the fee should be raised due to the broad and thorough coverage and cheaper medical expense. But the raise has to be re-evaluated after other local governments and central government agency returning the huge amount of money they diverted from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Fund. The National Health Insurance Bureau should give correct amount of the debt. It is unreliable when they keep changing the amount of debt from 50 to 60 to 100 billion NTD in 3 days.

The Department of Health has diverted 83.731 billion NTD from the Taiwan's National
Health Insurance Fund.
The Taipei government has owed 34 billion NTD to the Taiwan's National Health Insurance Fund.


馬英九、衛生署還我納稅錢！
馬英九欠繳健保費三百四十幾億，賴帳不還，只想想盡辦法要漲大家的健保費，由於引起民眾的反彈，大家都知道只要馬英九還了北市欠的健保費，根本不用調高保費，甚至反而可降價。但馬政府悍然不顧，隨意信口開河、誇大健保的赤字，如楊志良27日先說健保赤字缺口五百億，28日改口變成六百億，29日健保局乾脆說健保赤字缺口高達一千億，三天之內健保赤字就灌水了一倍。

健保費 今年漲定了 (2010-01-28 工商時報 【記者薛孟杰／台北報導】)
楊志良指出，健保財務困窘，調整保費後，只能追求今年度財務平衡，仍無法填平健保財務收支逆差500億元，所以今年衛生署將同步推動2代健保修法工作。

春節前不調健保費？ 楊志良：不敢保證 (2010/1/28 中央社)
外傳健保費最快春節前調整，衛生署長楊志良今天對此表示「不敢保證」，但安全準備金早就沒了，健保短絀近新台幣600億元，不調才是違法。

健保局：保費若不調 缺口達1000億 (中央社記者陳麗婷台北29日電)
督保盟批評調整健保費，擬提行政訴願與釋憲。健保局今天說，有關保費調整方案，健保法「沒有授權、但也沒有不准」；且若不調，今年財務短絀將達1000億元，調整保費合情合理。

健保漲？ 衛生署先還錢！ (2010/1/30 自由時報 自由論壇 王祥維)
近日衛生署研擬調漲健保費，除貧富差距和北高兩市欠款等議題備受國人關注外，事實上，根據立法院預算中心指出，健保保費長年遭政府挪用，支應公共衛生支出高達八三七．三一億元，實為健保虧損之根本原因。
