This isn't an expense that other localities have to bear. Many big companies have their headquarters in Taipei, which means that thousands of people who work somewhere else in Taiwan still file for their labor and health insurance in Taipei. These expenditures amount to one-half of what the city spends on labor and health insurance every year.
許多大企業由於總公司設在台北，就將全省數千名員工的勞健保都報在台北市，這部份估計佔了勞健保補助支出的一半。
