A Public Country and Its Expansion

Abstract

While low voluntariness and low participation ratio in the implementation of the NCMS exposed the defects of the system design (lack of motivation of the organizers owing to the high cost of organization, low beneficial range of people owing to the orientation in the reimbursement of serious illnesses only, the increasing openness and state of flux of the communities), another problem that underlies at a deeper level does not arouse adequate notice or concern. We have to pursue the basic ideal behind the system design. When they are with the correct ideal, the policies can still be modified to solve the emergent problems or to increase the applicability; when the ideal is problematic, however, the policy cannot be expected to fulfill the designers’ original plan, or to solve the problems effectively, or to reveal the crux of the matter, even with considerable technological modifications.
