Huang Guochang said that the elderly are exempt from health insurance premiums and there is no need to increase the premiums for young people. Shi Chongliang: The pressure of premium payment will be passed on to workers.

The Legislative Yuan passed an amendment to the law that exempts seniors over the age of 65 whose income tax rate falls below 20% from paying health insurance premiums, which will be subsidized by the central government. Popular Party Chairman Huang Guochang said that this move will not increase the burden on young people, but Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang warned that central subsidies will crowd out other dispatchable resources, affect the sustainable development of health insurance, and may eventually lead to an increase in premiums, shifting the burden to workers aged 15 to 64.
