Bitesize Chinese 一口中文 · Nov 5, 2026 · 13m

In this episode of Bitesize News, Joeru and Amber discuss Taiwan’s decision to subsidize National Health Insurance premiums for eligible seniors — why the policy has sparked debate over generational fairness, and how expanding social welfare could affect younger generations and public spending.

本集將用清楚易懂的中文討論帶你了解台灣健保制度如何運作、長者健保費全額補助為什麼引發爭議，以及在人口老化、少子化的社會中，政府該如何兼顧不同世代的需求與公共資源分配。
