- Title
Mainstream Health Care in Taiwan's Prisons: A Model for Expanding Medicaid Coverage to Incarcerated Americans.
- Authors
Chen, Michael S.; San-Kuei Huang
- Abstract
The authors argue that Taiwan's health insurance reform initiative in 2010, which allows prison inmates to be covered under Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) program, can be used as an example of how to expand Medicaid health insurance coverage to incarcerated individuals in the U.S. as of 2016. According to the article, the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides incentives for American states to expand Medicaid eligibility to certain nonpregnant, nondisabled adults.
