美國聖湯瑪斯大學國際研究講座教授葉耀元發文分享美台醫療的差異,並直言「用政策買票的方式來毀掉台灣健保的未來,我看了只有心疼而已」。
旅美教授葉耀元在臉書發文指出,他現在住在沒有全民健保的國家,全家4個人1個月的健康保險費差不多台幣2萬元。但基本上除非必要,也幾乎不會去看醫生,多數時候就是每年去給家庭醫生檢查身體一次罷了。美國醫療費本來就不便宜,而且美國人也很清楚(就算有保險)可以吃成藥的病就不用去打擾醫生。

葉耀元分析,台灣立院現在的做法,是要讓真正需要使用健保的人用幾戶不用出錢的方式享有這項保障。這表示未來使用的比例會更高,隨著人口老齡化,對我國醫療體系的負擔也會更重。
葉耀元指出,美國跟台灣的差異在哪裡?在品質。美國保險很貴,不會每個人沒事都跑醫院,所以你在醫院得到的照料是很客製化的,是更為仔細的;台灣一個醫生一天要看的病患何其多,請問要怎麼樣讓醫療人員可以更為細部的檢查每一個病患呢?
