[Reporter Yang Chengyu/Taipei Report] The Social Welfare and Health Environment Committee of the Legislative Yuan continued to review the "Draft of Regenerative Medicine Law" today (29th), and invited Minister of Health and Welfare Xue Ruiyuan and other relevant officials to attend.

The new system of part of the burden of health insurance may be launched in July, and the total cost of emergency visits to medical centers may exceed 1,000. Xue Ruiyuan responded that whether it will be implemented in July depends on the administrative process; as for medical expenses exceeding 1,000, the Ministry of Health and Welfare did not encourage it People go directly to the medical center for medical treatment, and if they are referred, the cost will be reduced.

As for the new system of partial burden of health insurance, what kind of support will be provided for rural areas?

Xue Ruiyuan responded that if there is only one hospital above the regional level in this remote township, there will be such a problem.

This problem is less likely to occur if there are clinics and district hospitals in the same area.

In Taiwan, there are very few and relatively rare areas with only one regional hospital and no primary medical institutions. However, the Ministry of Health and Welfare will also provide support for this, and will encourage local clinics or hospitals above the regional level to open holiday clinics.

The opposition party also criticized why President Tsai Ing-wen can go to the United States even if she is a high-end player. Xue Ruiyuan responded that he still does not know what the opposition party's criticism is.
