Those whose income levels are comparable to the working-age population will be required to pay 30% when receiving care, with full implementation planned by 2028.<br data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"987\" \/>The rationale: escalating medical costs and worsening population aging require a fairer distribution of healthcare burdens between generations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1657\">Currently in Japan, seniors aged 75 and above pay <strong data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1205\">10% out of pocket<\/strong>, while high-income earners in that group pay <strong data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1261\">20\u201330%<\/strong>. For those aged 70\u201374, the standard rate is <strong data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1313\">20%<\/strong>, rising to <strong data-start=\"1325\" data-end=\"1332\">30%<\/strong> for high-income earners. The MHLW argues that some older adults have incomes comparable to those still working and are financially capable of paying more. Expanding the definition of \u201cworking-equivalent income earners\u201d to include more people paying 30% is therefore seen as a necessary reform for long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"2189\">This reflects a shared dilemma among advanced welfare nations: population aging, longer lifespans, and technological advancement are driving healthcare costs ever higher. If all expenses continue to be borne by the younger generation, the system will eventually collapse. Japan\u2019s medical insurance spending already accounts for <strong data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2005\">11% of its GDP<\/strong>, and the proportion of older adults with significant income and assets continues to grow. If they keep enjoying low-cost care, the fairness and credibility of the system will erode.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2191\" data-end=\"2527\">\u201cThose with greater means should bear greater responsibility\u201d\u2014this is the essence of social fairness. Japan chose <strong data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2329\">partial self-payment<\/strong> rather than higher taxes to sustain its system without expanding the tax burden, creating a social consensus: old age does not mean exemption, and higher income should entail higher contribution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2529\" data-end=\"2990\">In contrast, since Taiwan launched its National Health Insurance in 1995, it has achieved \u201cuniversal coverage,\u201d but after thirty years, the concept of <strong data-start=\"2680\" data-end=\"2696\">user payment<\/strong> is virtually nonexistent. Citizens enjoy high-tech medical services for a minimal registration fee. Attempts by the NHI Administration to adjust co-payment policies have repeatedly been derailed by populist resistance, undermining the system\u2019s financial prudence and risk-sharing mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"3546\">During my tenure as NHI Director-General, I strongly advocated for <strong data-start=\"3059\" data-end=\"3080\">co-payment reform<\/strong>\u2014requiring those who use costly medical services to bear a fair share of expenses, thereby protecting resources for the truly vulnerable. Premier Su Tseng-chang at the time fully supported this \u201cuser-pays\u201d direction. Although the global budget system has succeeded in controlling expenditure, it has also fostered zero-sum competition among hospitals and excessive outpatient visits. Without a reasonable co-payment mechanism, <strong data-start=\"3507\" data-end=\"3543\">waste becomes a systemic illness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3548\" data-end=\"3888\">Japan\u2019s reform philosophy offers valuable lessons for Taiwan: <strong data-start=\"3610\" data-end=\"3771\">true social justice means asking those with the ability to contribute more, so that those in need do not have to give up treatment due to financial hardship.<\/strong><br data-start=\"3771\" data-end=\"3774\" \/>Partial self-payment is not punishment\u2014it is education. It does not weaken welfare\u2014it safeguards sustainability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3890\" data-end=\"4362\">Taiwan has long been trapped in the misconception that \u201copposing reform protects livelihoods,\u201d treating fairness-oriented reforms as additional burdens. In reality, \u201cuser-pays\u201d is the key to sustaining the NHI and ensuring <strong data-start=\"4113\" data-end=\"4142\">intergenerational justice<\/strong>. Japan\u2019s willingness to address the politically sensitive issue of elderly cost-sharing stems from its understanding that without adjustments today, the younger generation will be unable to shoulder tomorrow\u2019s burden.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4364\" data-end=\"4697\">Health insurance reform is not merely a technical matter\u2014it is a <strong data-start=\"4429\" data-end=\"4461\">moral and value-based choice<\/strong>. Japan is now moving along a path that balances fairness with sustainability. When society recognizes that \u201creasonable co-payment\u201d is a shared responsibility, the NHI can regain public trust and continue to protect everyone\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4699\" data-end=\"4754\">Going forward, Taiwan can begin with three key steps:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"4755\" data-end=\"5248\">\n<li data-start=\"4755\" data-end=\"4897\">\n<p data-start=\"4758\" data-end=\"4897\"><strong data-start=\"4758\" data-end=\"4829\">Establish an income-linked, tiered co-payment system with a ceiling<\/strong>, to protect patients with severe illnesses and low-income groups.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4898\" data-end=\"5051\">\n<p data-start=\"4901\" data-end=\"5051\"><strong data-start=\"4901\" data-end=\"4985\">Apply differential rates for high-cost imaging, medical materials, and new drugs<\/strong>, introducing \u201cnecessity and value\u201d assessments to curb overuse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5052\" data-end=\"5248\">\n<p data-start=\"5055\" data-end=\"5248\"><strong data-start=\"5055\" data-end=\"5082\">Enhance risk protection<\/strong> by exempting rare disease and catastrophic illness patients from co-payments and providing prior notification, ensuring that reform is both empathetic and precise.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"5250\" data-end=\"5578\">Policy reform requires courage and communication, supported by data and principles.
