How Taiwan transformed its health care system
Culture helps - everyone here wants to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer.<p>Taiwanese doctors don't get paid in money.<p>They get paid "credits" which have to be exchanged for money based on a parallel financial system.<p>Foreigners here sometimes complain that there's a focus on seeing more patients faster, so there might be a misdiagnosis or a less thorough examination.<p>The fact remains though - it's cheaper to fly here to have a wisdom tooth removed (without insurance) than the same operation would cost in Switzerland or the US. There isn't much resentment of medical tourism either - so, you're all welcome to visit!
