Teng Hsi-hua, spokesperson for the NHI Civic Surveillance Alliance, says hospitals may replace medications that are now less profitable with substitutes for which the BNHI price provides a larger profit margin. It is thus expected that when existing hospital stocks run out in early 2007, there will be a wave of switchovers to substitutes. Citizens 'groups are watching the situation closely.
全民監督健保聯盟（督保盟）發言人滕西華表示，醫院為因應此波藥價調整，將會以進價便宜、用健保價格購買仍有差價可賺的藥品，換掉沒有利潤的藥品，預計在明（96）年初庫存藥品用罄後，會陸續出現換藥潮，民間團體正在密切注意中。
