Some claim that plugging this "black hole" will do nothing for NHIB finances, but will merely transfer the profits earned by hospitals on pharmaceuticals back to the pharmaceutical manufacturers. That's because hospitals which now pocket the difference between the discount prices they get from manufacturers and what they get from the NHIB will simply stop asking for discounts, and will pay the full NHIB payment over to the pharmaceuticals companies.
雖然有人認為，消除藥價黑洞無助於健保的財務，不過是將醫療院所藥價差的利得還給藥商而已。
