Although the government recognizes this problem, changing to a system of partial payment by the patient has hit obstacles: during revision of the labor insurance law in 1987, the Legislative Yuan put revision of the payment plan on temporary hold.
政府雖已瞭解到此種缺失而欲實施醫療費用部分分擔制，卻遭到相當大的阻力。七十六年修正勞工保險條例時，部分分擔制雖獲通過，但立法院卻決議暫緩實施。公保部分則仍未通過修法階段。
