"Having been privileged to be present at the creation of Taiwan's NHI, I am so proud of its achievements in its fifteen years in the service of Taiwan's people rich and poor as I have told audiences all over the world, from Mexico to Washington to Helsinki, Copenhagen, Berlin and Beijing. I only hope that Taiwan's people appreciate what they have in the NHI and make sure that it continues to be the keeper of social peace in Taiwan. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIANBAO!!! "-- Tsung-Mei Cheng, Princeton University

"Taiwan's citizen's seem not to appreciate the respect and admiration Taiwan's NHI has gained in international circles, because the endless criticism of that system and a stubborn refusal to contribute to its proper level of financing threatens the sustained high performance of the system. I hope Taiwan's citizens wake up before it is too late."-- Uwe Reinhardt, Professor of Princeton University

"Since 1995, NHI has achieved universal coverage, a remarkable accomplishment. Over its next 15 years, I am confident that NHI can transform the delivery of care through innovations such as bundled reimbursement, universal outcome measurement, and encouraging integrated care organized around the patient."-- Michael E. Porter, Professor of Harvard Business School

"Congratulations on your 15th anniversary. I am honored to send greetings to our friends and colleagues at the Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI) and at the Taiwan Department of Health. The creation of BNHI is a living testimony of a nation's collective belief that the health and wellbeing of Taiwan's citizens are a right as well as a priority for all. I trust BNHI will bring all of us into the new and sustainable era and add another proud chapter to its already historic accomplishments. Happy Anniversary!"-- Dr. Pikuei Tu, Director Policy & Organizational Management Program Duke University

"A health care system reveals the character of a society, and Taiwan's NHI system is the one that all Taiwanese can be proud of themselves among all nations in the world." -- Chunhui Chi, Associate Professor of Oregon State University

"Heartfelt congratulations on BNHI's 15th anniversary! As a Taiwanese Canadian, it is a great honor to be associated with BNHI." -- Dr. Michael Hsieh, Executive Director, Canadian Allied Development Services International
