Tung Hsu-chin, Director of the Department of Social Services, explains that because there is a cap on the amount paid by civil service or labor insurance, most hospitals require that doctors take that into account and balance off the price of any prescription.
社會服務室主任鄧淑卿解釋，由於公、勞保給付有一定的金額限制，因此，多數醫院要求醫生要斟酌、衡量所開處方的價格。
