Where Blue and Green Collide

By Fausan S. Tsai MD(2G)

An all-expense paid week in Taiwan is hard to pass up, even if every trip I have made there has been plagued by typhoons and terrible bug bites. But it was unlikely the humidity and mosquitoes could afford a whole week's stay at the Howard Plaza Hotel. Armed with a raincoat, I was ready to be hosted by the Overseas Compatriot

Affairs Commission. We were a group of 28 health professionals from the United States and Canada. We got to shake hands with

Vice President Lu Hsiu-lien and listen to a political lecture given by a professor from Soochow University. But the crux of the visit was to understand the state of healthcare in Taiwan. We visited the Bureau of National Health Insurance, the Department of Health, the International Cooperation National Health Research Foreign Affairs. By the end several hospitals, behind Taiwan's campaign Health Organization, and Taiwanese-North American between all the meetings proud of Taiwan's advances: healthcare system, how it in order to contain it, and countries through medical

(those supporting him). The most passionate speeches I heard, however, were those in taxi cabs, given by drivers who spoke uninterrupted the entire ride, from the platform of their car seat.

In Taiwan, you're bound to be asked which party you support: "Blue or green?" Politics are not black or white, blue or green, and what's best for Taiwan is not a single party solution. As Taiwan's political situation matures, I look forward to both parties not only keeping each other accountable, but also working together for the greater good. In the end, all these things shall pass - politics, parties, colors, and countries. But once upon a time, where the blue Pacific collides into green land, where 25 degrees latitude meets 121 longitude, there lived a people with passion, who stood up for what they believed in.

TAIWAN'S PARTICIPATION IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Dear Dr. Chan:

We are writing to support Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization. We are genuinely concerned about the Jack of representation of Taiwan in the WHO.

As you declared, our greatest concern must always rest with disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. These groups are often hidden and have little political voice. In this regard, Taiwan stands ready to join you.

Taiwan's modern healthcare system, comparable in standards to countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, has much to offer to members of the WHO. Taiwan's contribution to the international community has been well recognized through its many humanitarian efforts. Taiwan is a democratic state with a governing body separate from China. As such, public health information is not accessible through China's membership in the WHO. The SARS outbreak of 2003 illustrates the serious danger of excluding the Taiwan's population of 23 million from WHO programs, such as the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. This isolation not only affects Taiwan health, but also threatens the global com1nunity.

The North American Taiwanese Medicaf Association is an organization of 1500 members of the healthcare profession of _various specialties. We believe healtt is a universal interest shared by all the citizens of the world . I sincerely ask fc your help and support in Taiwan's bid in joining the World Health Assembly.

Yours truly,

Jung T. Tsai, MD, FACS President, NATMA

Healing the Sickness, One Patient at a Time.

Dr. Jung Tsai and his medical team just returned from a humanitarian health mission trip to Haiti. Dr. Tsai is a vascular surgeon at Trinitas Hospital and he is President of the North American Taiwanese Medical Association which is comprised of approximately fifteen hundred dentists and physicians of varying specialties. Since 2003, this association has provided annual medical missions to the needy in various Caribbean nations. This year, Dr. Tsai selected Haiti because there is a strong Haitian immigrant presence at Trinitas hospital and in the Elizabeth, N.j. Area.

The team, laden with medical supplies and equipment, left Kennedy to land in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. On arrival they were greeted by the Haitian Health Department, Foreign Ministry and television camera crews. Haiti is perhaps the most destitute country in the western hemisphere largely due to political unrest, consequently, the majority of Haitians fail to receive even basic healthcare. During the five days that Dr. Tsai's team was in Haiti, they were able to provide medical and dental care and surgical procedures to approximately fifteen hundred patients. The team spent the first and second days in Port-auP ri n c e treating basic maladies that are easily remedied in our country but go untreated in Haiti; high blood pressure, skin diseases, infection, malnutrition and diabetes.

President I Jung Tsai MD

On the third and fourth days Dr. Tsai's team relocated to a countryside hospital in Port-auSalut where the responsibility of medical care was dependent on the efforts of only two physicians, neither of whom were surgeons. Dr. Tsai established the operating room at the hospital and in forty-eight hours performed 35 surgical procedure~ including operations on various small tumors, hernia, hydrocele, parotid abscess, and fractures. At the same time, the medical team, including Trinitas staff member, Dr. Michel-Ange Ferdinand, and his wife, joseline, provided two months medical supplies for diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, and cardiac conditions.

The medical team returned home exhausted but satisfied from the reward of helping people, changing lives and improving the community in Haiti. Not only did our doctors and dentists heal the sick but more importantly, provided hope and inspiration to the Haitian community, empowering them through better health to make a better tomorrow for themselves.

Why I Need to Deduct Income Tax If I Still Have to Pay When I Retire

Many of my current clients have been asking me the question: What's the advantage by setting up a pension plan for current income tax deductions. Some people thought since they still have to pay tax sooner or later, deferring tax is not helping them too much. But the fact, however, proved otherwise. There are several factors you might want to consider to answer this question.

First, not every dollar coming out of the pension plan is actually subject to income tax.

There are certain deductions/tax credits that you can use to deduct from pension withdrawals each year. Only pension withdrawals up to certain amount are actually taxable, as what is called Taxable Income. You will have standard deductions ($10, 700 in Year 2007, married jointly) and exemption deductions ($3,400 per exemption in Year 2007) that would decrease your taxable income from pension withdrawals.

Second, there is a tax bracket difference.

Your current tax bracket might fall in one of the highest tax brackets (both federal and state), but when you retire you might enjoy a lower income tax bracket because of less income during your retirement age. For example, your current Federal marginal tax rate is 35%, the highest marginal rate. You will have to pay $0.35 to IRS on every additional dollar you earn. However, when you are at retirement and your marginal tax rate is 25%, then you only have to pay $0.25 to IRS on the same $1.00 and the 10% difference is your actual tax saving.

Third, you postpone your income tax liability.

If you owe one dollar of tax payment today but

By Edward Wang, CFP®, ChFC®, MBA

You don't pay it until 20 years later when you retire, you save due to depreciation of money's purchase power. We all know one dollar next year worth less

than one dollar today because of inflation. Based on historical average inflation rate of 4%; a $1.00 tax payment today will equal to about $0.46 twenty

years later, which will save you $0.54 on each dol!~r of tax payment you owe.

Fourth, you would earn extra interests or investment gains on deferred amount of tax.

It is common sense that when you pay $1.00 of tax payment to the government, you won't receive any interests or capital gains earned by this $1.00 in the future. However, if you defer your tax payment of this $1.00, you deserve at least part of its future interest or gains before you retire. For example, you have 20 years before reaching age 65, and you deferred a $1 .00 tax payment today. Based on investment return rate of 6%, this $1.00 will become $3.21 (or earn you $2.21) when you reach age 65. If your marginal tax rate at that time is 30%, you will have an AFTER-TAX EARNING of $1.55 (2.21 * 70%).

Last but not least, you can decide the amount withdrawn from your pension account.

When you "receive W-2 or 1099 (say $150,000) this year, you ar.e not in control of this amount. You can't say because an income of $100,000 or less enjoys a lower tax rate, let's postpone $50,000 to next year and only pay tax on $100,000 today.

However, you can do so on your retirement account withdrawals, provided you satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) after age of 70 ?, you can withdraw the amount at your wish, thus avoid

Triggering higher tax rate level or AMT (Alternative Today. That means if he has to pay the rest $3,500 Minimum Tax).

All of the above five factors will benefit you when you defer your income tax payment. The following example is an illustration of how much

these factors can save. Dr. A would like to know how much he could

ACTUALLY save on taxes if considering future tax liabilities and all other detailed aspects in the list

below. • Currently 45 years old

• Will retire in 20 years when he turns 65

• Has a joint Taxable Income of $200,000

• Assumes income will be reduced by half after

age 65 (part-time practice) • Current Marginal Tax Rate is 50%

• Estimate Marginal Tax Rate at retirement is 35% (Federal, State and City)

• Has an investment account estimated to generate annual return of 6% in the long run

• Currently has an opportunity to defer his income tax until his retirement age through a pension plan

• He is considering putting $10,000 into the pension contribution this year.

A total income tax saving (deferred tax amount) is estimated to be $5,000 including Federal and

State. First, he saves on the difference of income tax

bracket. Since he would earn only half the current amount when he retires, he would be taxed on a lower tax rate. On this example, the difference would be 15% on federal and state combined. Thus, by deferring $5,000 tax payment this year, he will save $750 (15%*$5000) on tax bracket difference

savings. This is equivalent to a present value of $342.29 [$750/(1+4%)A20], based on inflation rate

of4%.

Second, he saves on dollar depreciation due to inflation. Based on inflation rate of 4%, a payment of one dollar 20 years later equals to only about $0.46

($10,000*35%) tax payment 20 years later, he is

actually paying $1,610 (0.46*$3,500) worth of money today, and he saves additional $1,890. This is equivalent to a present value of $862.58.

Third, the deferred dollars gain 6% per year in long term investment returns. He put the $5,000

deferred tax payment into his investment account for 20 years. This $5,000 would earn a total of $11,035.68 {$5,000*[(1+6%)A20-1 ]}.

*Your Net Tax Saving Amount could be more than this if we consider standard/exemption

deductions during your retirement years. Since not every dollar from your pension account is actually taxable, it should be deducted by the amount of

standard/itemized deduction as well as exemption deductions (currently $3,300/person). If an employee retires, he elects standard deduction (currently $10,300) and he lives with his wife without any other dependent, his deduction could be $16,900. If he take out $40,000 from his pension this year with no other income, he only has to pay tax on the amount over $16,900, which is $23,100 (or 58% of $40,000). This means that about 58% of his pension withdrawal

this year is taxable; the rest 42% is not taxable.

Upon withdrawal, this net earning equally to about $7,173.19 [$11,035.68*(1-35%)] AFTER TAX.

And when converted into present value, it is equivalent to $3,273.75($7, 173.19/(1+4%)A20]

AFTER TAX.

By summarizing the above numbers, we got a

total net ~ax -.saving in today's dollar of $4,478.62 ($342.29+$862.58+$3273.75). What does this

number mean?

It means when you contribute into your

pension of $10,000 only one time, you are SAVING (not deferring) your tax payment of $4,478.62 (or 45% of your pension contribution) in today's dollar, after considering depreciation of money (4% of inflation), investment return (6%), and future liability

of tax payment ($3,500 in year 20).*

To NATMA2G Celebration for New Beginning

Great is the art of beginning but the greater the art is of ending·············· .. ·· ···. (Longfellow)

By Samuel M. Chou, MD., PhD I Founding President

Expectation to NATMA2G(2nd Generation) Congratulations are overdue for the successful

inauguration of the of NATMA(North American TaiwaneseAmerican Medical Association)2G(2nd generation members of NATMA (North American Taiwanese Medical Association.), East Coast chapter launched last Dec. 29th 2007. The beginning of 2008 greeted me with such a wonderful news that I couldn't help but leap with joy and excitedly exclaim the words ''YOU DID IT'' with total satisfaction. With the emergence of both the West (Los Angeles and San Francisco as centers) and the East (Boston and New York as centers)coast chapters, one can easily envision the rapid expansion and forceful convergence of NATMA 2G as U.S. membership increases with the hope of reaching Taiwan in no time. It may even invigorate the aging NATMAlG.

As one of the founders of NATMA, who has attended its Annual meetings for 24 consecutive years, I am sending you a sincere salute by archiving the exciting events and recognizing several key persons who made continuity of the NATMA's missions possible. To transfer the torch, it may be meaningful to recount and document the inception, birth, its evolution and the current state of July 14th, 1984 is the date on which we

-proclaimed the birth of NATMA at Yipsilante, Ml, most of founding members came from Cleveland OH, some from Michigan, Chicago, and New York. Two mentors attended are Drs j-T Lin (*)ofLima, OH and T-1 Lin (")of Vancouver, BC.

NATMA 2G, lest we forget the memorable process it went through. NATMA's historicity needs to be kept straight and accurate because its record may serve as a testament of the lifelong commitment, continuous effort, creativity, achievement of all its members.

Overdue Birth of 1G, N-Ca, folllowed by Birth of 2G It was the wisdom of the Board members and Ei Shun Lin,

who decided to convene the 2004 annual meeting in San Jose,

California in order to activate and energize 1 G in Northern California, (N-Ca, San Francisco, Bay area)chapter, still at its infancy and 2G at its full term and soon to be born. We have waited for this extremely overdue birth of N-Ca, 1 G chapter for over past 20 years. The continued efforts of past presidents for inducing its birth were intensified by several past presidents like Simon Lin, Ei Shun Lin, and Daniel Hsu to just name a few. But it was Ei Shun's choice of inviting Julin Tang, Clinical Professor at UCSF(University of California at San Francisco- Anesthesia and Peri-operative Care Department)to chair the Educational Committee for year 2004 did the trick. That appointment" ~ot only gave a final strong push for the birth of lG chapter out of the womb but also accelerated induction of the birth of 2 G, NCa chapter and it turned out to bethe best decision Ei Shun has ever made during his tenure as the NATMA president(2003- 2004).

Vital Link for Two California(S-CA & N-CA)Chapters Clearly, it was the indispensable role played by Julin Tang

who almost single-handedly infused the elements needed to create the vital link between 1 G and 2G of N-Ca chapters .. Not only did Julin play the role of a male midwife for, although an anesthesiology professor by his trait, he helped S-S (ShinnShyng)Chang, a genuine practicing obstetrician, give birth to NCa 1 G in 2004. Simultaneously, Julin interacted with 2G of N-Ca, gathered them, identified their leadership in Steve Chen and created as 2G chapter which was inaugurated in 2005. With very little support, if any, from NATMA 1 G, because NATMA N-Ca 1 G chapter simply did not exist before the year of 2004. Julin must have sensed the difficulties of organizing the 2004 Convention

CME Program but courageously accepted the challenge of being its Committee Chair and did it remarkably well. Hence, it surprised no body when he succeeded Dr. S-S Chang as the president ofN-Ca chapter in Oct. of2007.

Coordinating 1G and 2G for Working Together On April 10, 2004, S-S Chang inaugurated the NATMA N-Ca

t G chapter. Though differing only in membership by one generation, the N-Ca chapters of 1 G and 2G literally grew up side by side as twins. S-S Chang together with other 1 G members teamed up with the ever innovative 2G leader, Steven Chen, alongside active 2G members in the Bay areas Ho Chie Tsai, Tammy Hong, or outside of Bay areas, llin Chuang (AZ) and john Hsu (LA). With julin Tang organizing several local activities that required participation of both 1 G and 2G, the N- Ca chapters emerged as one of the most active Taiwanese America n, (TA)social groups in the North America.

Linking South and North California Chapters During the spring of 2005 after much debate over the

expansion of NATMA to extend memberships to other health professionals, the bylaws of NATMA N-Ca 2G was drafted by Jim Wang, llin Chuang, , Steven Chen, and David Huang, then reviewed by julin Tang and john Chou (both about 1.5G)of the Southern California(S-Ca))chapter. After much consultation with Jim Wang and David Huang of Rochester the decision to formally recognize NATMA N-Ca 2G was made. It was actually on September 5, 2005 at the City of Industry that the NATMA Northern California 2G chapter was inaugurated through the coordinated negotiation of julin Tang and witnessed by Jim Wang and John Hsu both from the S-Ca 2G chapter. Supported by the well-funded and active S-Ca 1 G chapter, the almost spontaneous birth of the S-Ca 2G chapter has been quietly done with synergy, since 2G in S-Ca Chapter led by Jim Wang has already participated activities in NATMA affairs as a full member of S-Ca 1 G Chapter.

C-Y Lee Memorial Lectureship for 2G The tst generation NATMA was contemplating a strategy

to entice the young generation doctors as early as 2000 in order to prepare for NATMA's long-term survival. In honor of our mentor Professor C-Y Lee, a lectureship was established in 2001 by the NATMA Foundation funded through the revenues generated by annual auction of oil paintings primarily donated by Sam Chou, Apou Lin and other generous members American (T-A)physicians mostly of the assistant professorship levels.

Recipients of C-Y Lee lectureship 2002, in the back raw from the right, Dr. Richard Wong, Peter Chang and Tom Hsieh Drs Joseph Hong, Henry Wang, and Brian Jiang. Front raw from the left, Drs. J.C. Wang (NATMA president 2002-3), Sam Chou, Jennifer Lin, and Gene Deune.

During the years 2001 through 2007, the Foundation awarded in total of 22 young academic T-A physiceans. Three outstanding individuals stood out tall, with proven leadership with strong Taiwanese consciousness and interest in furthering the T-A identity.

They gave superb presentations, at least twice, during NATMA's annual 2001 and 2002 meetings: they are (1 )David Huang of Rochester, New York; (2lJennifer Lin of Boston; and (3)Gene Deune from Baltimore. However, all three physicians reside in the East coast and they have waited for the timely action of 2G in the West coast, especially of N-Ca chapter, then, both Alex and Jennifer took action, knowing the task will be harder because of less concentrated and less active T-A in the East coast, besides missing a catalytic person like julin Tang In fact, , with julin Tang organizing several local activities that required participation of both 1 G and 2G, the N- Ca chapter has emerged as ..one of the most active Taiwanese-American, -(T

A)social groups in the North America. Thunews ceeded S-S Chang to become the president of NATMA N-Ca chapter.

Dr. S-S Chang, an obstetrician who, together with julin Tang gave birth of N-Ca, 1 G chapter in Sept. 2004.

NATMA Musketeers of the East Coast David Huang (Vermont medical graduate with Cardiology

Fellowship at Beth Israel, Harvard). He has been working alone for NATMA, 1 G in Rochester after his father Dr. Kuo-wen Huang, a founding member of NATMA, went back to Taiwan to become the director of the Cheng-kung University Hospital in Taiwan and later, Chang-Gung University Hospitgal at Kao-shung more than ten years ago. David has been the most frequent attendee of NATMA annual meetings and has been invited to Taiwan more than twice representing young Taiwanese-American physicians of NATMA. Through his father's help, he was able to identify the educational exchange channels in Taiwan. In 2005, the NATMA Board accepted creation of a " Young Taiwanese-American Physicians" section which is equally empowered as the local chapter president . David was voted by the Board to be an interim president,, David was born in Taiwan and speaks fluent Taiwanese and capable of giving a scientific talk in Taiwanese that is so hard fo even well-seasoned senior professors among tG ofNATMA.

Gene Deune, (Pittsburg Medical graduate, with a Fellowship of hand surgery, at Washington U, associate professor of orthopedic surgery, john Hopkins University). At the 2002 NATMA annual meeting, he gave us an inspiring story after his excellent talk on orthopedic surgery. The story of his courageous saga clarifying own identity as a T-A and solving his identity crisis. The pronunciation of his family name [chang] in Chinese is so different from that [deune] in Taiwanese. Whereas during the Japanese colonization, it must be pronounced as [ choo ]. Many


-45-

T-A, including myself, had this self-downgrading and humiliating experience of changing pronunciation of own names for 2 or 3 times, when Japan came to colonize Taiwan and then when KMT came to occupy the island and when we naturalized to become American citizen. Gene vehemently disliked being called "Dr. Chang" which sounded so Chinese and insinuated a Chinese identity. Refused to be mitigated his proud Taiwanese heritage, Gene decided to rectify his name into "Deune" with the closest approximation in English spelling for the Taiwanese pronunciation. The horrendous struggles followed for a few years with endless paperwork and commuting to the county houses and city halls for correcting and changing the family names from Chang into Deune for all his certificates inclding birth, graduation, license, ocks etc. bank accounts, st or any certificates, etc. He has accomplished his saga with stride and never regretted his decision.

Jennifer and Alex Lin come from a family of physicians, living in Cresskill, New Jersey. Dr. Fan-Ming Lin, an ENT surgeon raised daughter Jennifer and son Alex and all three physicians are avid supporters of NATMA. Alex early on decided to become a professional magician and took time off from school to perform in Boston before finally deciding to go back to Johns Hopkins Medical school. Alex(a Stanford medical graduate, is currently pursuing his fellowship in Plastic surgery at the UCSF. Jennifer was an outstanding student in high school and won the Westinghouse award with scholarship for her excellence in science. She went to Harvard University and its medical school and graduated both cum laude. Jen is currently a research fellow at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. She is also a staff dermatologist of Harvard medical school and has published in total of 16 works in the fields of ophthalmology, virology, dermatology and oncology. Jen has demonstrated her interest in the NATMA operations, presented her scientific exhibits at NATMA annual meeting 2001, and was awarded again in 2002 with the NATMA C-Y Lee lectureship. This brother and sister team of Jen and Alex Lin has just successfully organized the East coast NATMA 2G chapter, through the able tutelage of Steven Chen and Julin Tang of N-Ca chapter. Yet, their success in erecting NATMA 2G in the eastern part of the US, may be due to the fact both Jen and Alex have

- - spent time schoolings on both coasts. For their contribution and efforts NATMAlG will be forever grateful. A) Dr. David Huang, cardiologist, can giving a scientific talk in fluent Taiwanese. B) Drs Lin's physician family, from left to right, Ors. Alex(plastic surgeon, son), Fan-Ming (ENT surgeon, , father)and Jennifer(dermatologist, daughter). Behind the noble achievements of this brother and sister tandem lies a quiet, soft-spoken yet determined ENT-physician father in the person of Fan Ming Lin. Fan found time to join NATMA's medical mission in Haiti for which Jen was unable to

a::~~~--~:" join as originally planed. His concern for Taiwan's presidential election prompted him to return to Taiwan, only to be back

extremely disappointed by the outcome of the election. Sensing the coming few years may be most critical even threatening the very existence of Taiwan, he is determined to render the voice of T-A professionals back to Taiwan by working hard for international diplomacy, e.g.WHO campaign, or medical missions. Besides, Fan as an ENT surgeon, has committed to actively support and act as an assistant to one of his best friends of half a century, Dr.Jung Tsai, (a solo practicing surgeon (#l)also from NJ, (#2)and who happened to be his buddy classmate(#J)of the same high school (#4)born in the same township (#5). More surprising serendipity is the fact that as his extraordinarily talented (#6), physician (#7)daughter(#8)), Jennifer, Jumg Tsai also has an extremely talented daughter, Fausan(a Columbia under and RWJUmedical graduate, Cardiac Fellow at NY college)a well known pianist, violinist and physician, all in one. The last but not least amazing coincidence is the fact they are serving this year (2008 - 2009)both as the President (#9)of NATMA, national for Jung and NY chapter for Fan.

Good luck and Health to all the, above-mentioned and all the rest of members, Viva NATMA!! (# : numbers of serendipities) Epilogue and A Grain of Salt . With an overwhelming sense of pride, I sincerely congratulate all those who have made the birth, rise, and growth of a new

Association possible. Notwithstanding a pinch of concern for the still ill-defined"' entities falling under " non-medical health professional" I still believe that commitment of membership will do justice to the future growth of NATMA 2G. After all, the primary function of all professional Associations in any society must be to collectively bring a~d bind people together; people of the same, similar, or related professions. The question that must be asked however, and perhaps defined more precisely is that uncertain imaginary line of commonality. By what principle do we measure this line of commonality among varying professional backgrounds and experiences. At what point do we draw the line, since such a demarcation line can determine how much fun and excitement one group of people can expect to share together. It is worth mentioning that in Association gatherings where the collective excitement will be centered among the mainstream majority's interests putting at risk those of interest to the minority altogether ignoring and reducing the latter to mere passive participants. Yet, the future of NATMA is yours to create, improve and transform. Please take such concern with a grain of salt for the promise of a bigger and more powerful organization looms ahead. Good luck and take fervent care of NATMA's newborn in its infancy and frailty.
