PROFESSIONALISM AND ITS DISCONTENTS IN THE ERA OF TAIWAN NATIONAL HEALTH

Abstract

National Health Insurance (NIH) is the most significant
major achievement for medical society engaging in Taiwan’s
democracy movement; however, the conflict between state
managerialism and professional autonomy has dramatically eroded the medical world’s trust in civil society. This
paper examines administrative distance between theories
of justice and authoritarian practices which now endanger
the health care delivery system in Taiwan.
