She explained that because statutory health insurers put an upper limit on the number of patients doctors can see and will not pay above that level, it does not matter how many patients a doctor sees. (This is similar to Taiwan's global budget system.) Beyond a certain number of patients the doctor is just doing charity work.
她解釋，由於大眾健保公司有支付看診人數最高限制規定，超過一定額度他們就不付了（編按：類似台灣全民健保的總額給付制），所以收再多病人也沒用，超出的數量只好算是做白工、行善助人了。
