The Health of Nations?

Magical health insurance card with clearly touched up picture of yours truly

Malaria pills and immunization certificate (World Health Organization approved!)

I took a trip to the big ol' city of Taipei for a travel medicine consultation.  In Taiwan, land of national healthcare, you can go to any medical facility, whip out your health insurance card and get some medical attention!  I got the yellow fever vaccine and 2 months worth of malaria pills.  

Medical consultation + vaccine + pills = 2101 NT$ or 67 US$             

To give this some perspective, last year I got the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine in America.  The shot alone cost me 350 US$.  Today I saw the same shot available at the Taiwanese clinic for 10 US$.
