Just take for example the shortage of high grade facilities on the offshore islands (despite the fact that those people pay the same insurance rates as anyone else), the shortage of beds for the chronically ill, the opposition to the referral system, and the preference many have for going to the largest and best-equipped hospitals.
而目前出現的問題，如離島居民交了保費，卻無法獲得「等值」的醫療服務、慢性病患無處可去、民眾對轉診沒有意願，寧可逕赴大醫院就醫…… 等，原本是一個健全的醫療網中不該出現的現象。
