Sheen Mao-ting, director of the Medical Review and Pharmaceutical Benefits Division of the BNHI, explains that NHI in fact fully covers 90 % of the people who need special medical treatments and devices, and that if patients are unsatisfied with its services or have very special needs, then it is not unreasonable for them to pick up a portion of the costs.
衛生署中央健康保險局醫審及藥材組組長沈茂庭解釋，健保給付的特材其實已足夠照顧 90 % 民眾的需求，若不滿意或有特殊需要者，自己再負擔一些差額也是「合情合理的」。
