Why It Matters

藍白陣營在立法院推動65歲以上長者免健保費修法,引發中央與地方財政分擔及弱勢補助刪除的爭議。

Font size

藍白近日在立院強推65歲以上長者免健保費修法,國民黨團今(18)日宣稱長者健保費由中央補助才能消弭城鄉不公,並以賴總統過去主張及民進黨參選人立場批評雙標。民進黨黨團幹事長莊瑞雄表示,支持減輕長輩負擔,與要求財源穩定、中央地方合理分擔,完全沒有矛盾,「福利不是只能鼓掌、不能算帳;問錢從哪裡來,不叫人格分裂。」

莊瑞雄表示,支持長者健保補助,不代表任何財務安排都得照單全收,地方政府編列預算推動補助,與修法要求中央全面負擔,涉及不同的責任分配。主張照顧長輩,不是簽空白支票;不能拿過去一句主張,就要求今天中央全部買單。

莊瑞雄指出,六都原本就有不同條件及額度的長者健保補助,這次修法除了擴大補助,也把地方原有支出轉給中央。財政部長莊翠雲已說明,今年前9月全國稅收較去年同期增加7000億元,其中地方增加4500億元、中央增加2500億元。財劃法修正後地方財源增加,既有補助責任卻又往中央移,「不能分錢時說地方要多拿,付錢時說中央要全包,收入往地方搬,帳單往中央送!」

對於城鄉公平,莊瑞雄表示,財力不足的縣市,中央應協助;但有能力負擔的地方,為什麼也不用分擔?對原本已獲足額補助的長輩而言,換付款人未必增加照顧。地方省下的錢,是否增加就醫接送、居家服務及社區照顧,應交代清楚,城鄉公平,要讓資源不足的地方多一分照顧,不能最後只讓有能力的地方少一張帳單。

針對經民連智庫召集人賴中強律師提出的條文對照,揭露修法的重大問題,莊瑞雄說明,此次三讀條文只留下健保保費補助,原第22條有關「部分負擔費用」及「保險給付未涵蓋之醫療費用」的補助規定,卻未保留。國眾兩黨必須說明,為何刪去這兩項規定?原有弱勢長者醫療補助的法源,要如何保障?

莊瑞雄強調,每月繳保費,跟生病時付醫療費,是兩回事。不能招牌掛著福利加碼,原本救急的保障卻出現破洞!衛福部次長林靜儀也已提醒,重大修法應充分討論財源、影響範圍及執行方式,缺乏評估,反而可能加劇弱勢的不利處境。這正是修法必須充分審議,不能搶快交差的原因。

莊瑞雄認為,行政院說明,這項全額補助今年所需經費近400億元,而且是年年要付的承諾。修法既未交代穩定財源,又涉及行政與立法權責分際,現在更出現弱勢醫療補助規定遭刪除的問題。目前法案僅三讀通過,尚未完成公布生效程序,不能把三讀當成政策已經上路,再要求行政院照單全收,行政院應在憲法賦予的職權範圍內,採取合法合憲的因應作為。

他重申,國會多數能讓法案三讀,不能讓財源憑空出現,更不能讓條文漏洞自動消失。誰主導修法,誰就要 photoelectron 把問題講清楚,不能按完表決器,就把爛攤子交給行政院。
