On July 6, 2024, in response to the financial challenges faced by the national health insurance system in Taiwan, there are discussions on raising the 'supplementary premiums' with a focus on increasing rates for supplementary premiums related to capital gains income. The directors of National Taiwan University Hospital and Taipei Veterans General Hospital expressed their support for this proposal. The ongoing debate includes concerns about the impact of proposed amendments to the Health Insurance Act on healthcare quality and accessibility, with emphasis on the need for financial stability and support from government and public in sustaining the healthcare system.
