The Kuomintang Central City Caucus questioned the DPP for not supporting health insurance subsidies for the elderly and questioned He Xinchun for not voting during the Legislative Yuan.

The Kuomintang group of the Taichung City Council held a press conference on the 8th, pointing out that the Legislative Yuan cooperated with blue and white to pass the "Elderly Welfare Act" amendment, the Executive Yuan did not countersign, and the DPP Taichung mayor candidate He Xinchun, who is a legislator, was absent during the vote and questioned that the DPP does not support the elderly health insurance subsidy from top to bottom. If He Xinchun is elected mayor, he may cancel this welfare subsidy like Lin Jialong.

In this regard, President He Xinchun said that He Xinchun has long emphasized on various occasions that if elected, he will definitely subsidize health insurance for the elderly, and asked the Kuomintang not to smear and spread rumors.

Li Zhong, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, said that the elderly health insurance subsidy policy was implemented during Hu Zhiqiang's term and was canceled after Lin Jialong became mayor. Lu Jiande, then director of social affairs, is now the parliamentary secretary of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and was the core pusher who led the effort to block the revision of the "Old Welfare Law." "Is He Xinchun trying to slap President Lai Ching-te in the face? Or is he trying to deceive the people of Taichung?"

Li Zhong said that Taichung City’s elderly health insurance subsidy fund is about 4 billion yuan a year. If the central government passes this policy, the Taichung City Government can use this fund to provide more social welfare or local construction. He Xinchun was absent during the vote. Moreover, President Lai Qingde sent a letter to Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu saying that "amending the law is against intergenerational justice," showing that Lai does not agree with this policy. On the other hand, He publicly stated on October 18 that she would support the policy if elected, questioning whether she wanted to slap President Lai in the face? Or is it just vote fraud?

Li Zhong also emphasized that when the Legislative Yuan voted on universal cash, He Xinchun was also absent and did not vote, but invited the Minister of Economics to Taichung to ensure that Taichung City's finances could make cash universal. He Xinchun should make it clear before the voting day whether she wanted to distribute 100 yuan, 1,000 yuan, or 10,000 yuan to citizens? The central government clearly has money to make, but He Xinchun insists that Taichung City pay for it out of its own pocket, which makes people wonder whether she is helping the central government save money instead of benefiting the citizens of Taichung.

The party group pointed out that many counties and cities have already implemented elderly health insurance subsidy policies, but are in embarrassment due to financial problems. Since the Legislative Yuan passed this bill, the Executive Yuan did not implement it, and many green camp legislators did not vote during the vote. They completely ignored public opinion. After becoming the mayor, do you still do what the DPP Central Committee says?
