- 1美國 Medicare 補充保險（補聯邦醫療保險沒給付的缺口；不是 Medicaid 低收入醫療補助）
In the United States, many older people (usually 65 and up) have Medicare, a government health plan. Medicare does not pay every bill — there are holes, called gaps. Medigap is extra insurance you buy from a private company to help pay those leftover costs: the parts Medicare leaves for you. It is a US system word. You will not need it for Taiwan’s 健保, and it is not a general English word for “extra health cover” in other countries. Though actually, the name is Medicare + gap, not Medicaid. Medicaid is a different US programme, for people with little money. The two names sit next to each other, and even some books mix them up. Medigap belongs with Medicare.
組成A blend of Medicare + gap: extra cover for the “hole” in what Medicare pays.
