The National Health Insurance: Decoding the health bill

Because the cost of medical treatment is increasing, more people are joining the National Health Insurance (NHI) system. NHI was implemented in 1995 and by 2004, 99% of the Taiwanese population received national health insurance benefits. With the ensuing financial crisis, insurance premiums are likely to increase, reducing public satisfaction. This study uses a structure development analysis of NHI to explore system behavior using system dynamics. The results show that public satisfaction can measure policy influence key indicators.
