How much does it cost to deliver a baby in taiwan while not covered by health insurance?

we are plannig to deliver our first baby in taipei ( taiwan) but we dont have health insurance. To prepare ourself we would like to know the approximate cost in such case.
--------------------
FYI... sorry I can only tell you its cheaper than in the states BUT If you post this in the travel section you will get alot better answers from people who actually know with good links. I did the same for Costa Rica, Chile, and Panama. http://www.nhi.gov.tw/english/index.asp Taiwan has a national health system. Once enrolled, essentially everything wil be covered. Depending on your work status and visa status in Taiwan, you may or may not be eligible for the National Health Insurance. But the general rule of thumb is medical cost in Taiwan is MUCH cheaper than that of the US with the same quality of medical care (when comparing pre-insurance raw price).
