When Taiwan created their new health care system, the government consulted experts from around the world, like Taiwanese American health economist Tsung-mei Cheng, learning what other countries do well and do poorly.

The result: A consolidated system with a single government run insurance provider, universal electronic medical records that any doctor could easily access to have instant, accurate information about their patients. Everyone has equal access to health care — free choice of doctors, with no waiting time — and a system that encouraged a lot of competition among medical providers.
