本文之研究目的，即在探討我國農民健康保險制度現存之問題，並藉由文獻分析，探討目前世界各國以特別體系辦理農民經濟安全保障之情形，瞭解農民健康保險現行制度運作情形及其所面臨之問題，以評析我國農民保險制度之缺失及可行之改進方向，最後提出農民健康保險條例之修正建議，以為未來修法之參考。 經本文之探討發現，目前世界各國以特別體系辦理農民經濟安全保障者僅數少數，且其農民保障制度除了立基於保障農民生活、改善農家所得水準之出發點外，也同時肩負改善農民地位，提昇務農意願、降低農業勞動者年齡等目標。 至於目前農保所面臨之課題方面，包括行政監理體系複雜，且中央主管機關與承保機關之隸屬關係薄弱；投保資格之規範與農民健康保險之制度目的不合，而與現實脫鉤，造成農保被保險人人數與實際從事農業人數之偏離；被保險人年齡結構老化，導致保險收支平衡；保險費率偏低，造成農保鉅額赤字及財務虧損；投保金額之不合理，影響被保險人權益及農保制度之財務健全等等。 最後，本文提出農民健康保險條例之修正建議，而朝向解決現行實務上缺失，維持保險財務健全、調和權利義務一致之方向發展，以期我國社會保險制度之發展更上一層樓。 關鍵字：農民健康保險；農民健康保險條例；老年農民福利津貼；社會保險。 / In an attempt to explore the main issue of Farmers' Health Insurance system, we investigate the current welfare systems that ensure the safety of farmers' health and economic status across the whole world. Based on the literature analysis, we understand how the system implement and what the critical issues are. This helps us make some key comments on the deficiency of Taiwan's farmer health insurance system. In this regard, some improvement guidelines and suggestions are proposed for the further revision Enactment of Taiwan's Farmer Health Insurance. The major findings indicate that few countries engage in establishing the specific scheme to ensure the health and economic status of farmers. Conversely, for those countries with the above insurance scheme, they not only ensure to advance the farmer's life and income, but also regard this system as a means to raise the devotion to farming and to lower the age of the farmers. Meanwhile, the deficiencies of Farmers' Health Insurance include the complicated regulatory structure, the inadequate regulations regarding the qualifications of the insured and the aging of the insured. Besides, the insurance rate is lower than the fair rate, resulting in insufficient insurance premium such that the financial health is weakened. Finally, the contribution of this study is devoted to the social insurance system, especially focused on some suggestions that should be constructive with respect to the emendation of Enactment of Farmers' Health Insurance.
