Bill,
In case you wish to learn more about Taiwan's NHI system:

Compulsory Enrollment
The National Health Insurance system is a compulsory social insurance program. By law, any Taiwanese citizen with a local ID card or foreign national living in Taiwan with an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC), regardless of age, gender, or employment status, must enroll in the program. Also, those eligible for the system must participate in the system for their entire lives, unless they lose their eligibility (by being convicted of a crime, disappearing, giving up their Taiwan citizenship, moving abroad or having their Alien Resident Certificate expire). Citizens must remain in the insurance system until they die.
