One of the World's Best Healthcare System Is Cracking | Gen Taiwan

Taiwan has what is considered one of the world’s best healthcare systems, a single payer system run by the government. Patients pay a premium benchmarked to their income, and co-payments to a general practitioner costs around $2.50. But this low-cost approach is cracking with declining birth rates and an aging population adding more pressure. VICE journeys inside Taiwan’s well-oiled health system to understand why change is needed. @1:02 Due to an error introduced during editing, the sentence should be "Even a large medical center, like our Taipei Veterans General Hospital" and not "centre". @2:29 the cost in USD should be USD 75,000 rather than USD 750,000. We regret the error.
