立法院在國民黨和民眾黨強硬主導下,三讀通過「老人福利法」修法,明訂六十五歲以上長者有條件免健保費,行政院長卓榮泰確定不副署法案。衛福部長石崇良昨天表示,現在健保財務以薪資所得為主,若六十五歲以上族群不繳保費,未來工作族群的負擔一定會加重。
老福法修正 政院不副署
石崇良昨天出席「醫師節慶祝大會」,被問及行政院不副署「老福法」一事,他表示,六十五歲以上的長者,大概繳一塊錢,每年健保支出是四塊錢,中間的落差是其他年齡族群共同負擔。
他指出,健保一年的保費在全世界來相比都是低的,「希望能靠這些資源來挹注在更多需要幫忙的人身上」,包含近日就會開始進行六大社福津貼調高廿三.五%,大概需要一八〇億元,再加上國民年金,若按政院版本也需要一八〇億元,兩項合起來就是三六〇億元。但若讓六十五歲以上老人可不繳健保費,國家一年得多燒四百億元支應。
石崇良表示,四百億元可以照顧更多弱勢,包含六大社福津貼裡面弱勢家庭、孩子的生活費用,還有中低收入戶的老人生活費用等,希望大家能夠共同體諒支持。
石崇良指出,我國六十五歲以上的人口比例已經超過廿%,到了二〇六一年,六十五歲以上的人口數會多過十五歲到六十四歲的工作者,等於與現在反轉,一旦六十五歲以上老人不繳保費,繳保費的工作者負擔一定會加重。
他也提到,整個健保的財務會因為人口結構逆轉,產生巨大衝擊,現在多數以薪資所得為主的保費收入,須更全面性的思考。衛福部已經委託專家成立工作小組,希望儘快完成各種方案討論,再提出修法。
卓榮泰昨日到彰化主持台七六線延伸段通車典禮時則強調,行政院樂於再跟立法院協商,希望長輩的健保能夠在國家財政及執行年度方面,更合理的規劃。
卓揆:主動跟立院尋求共識
卓榮泰說,兩院要好好的談,而不是用表決的方式硬要行政院在不顧國家財政規劃下,破壞整個施政規劃藍圖。卓揆指出,雙方目的是一樣的,要為國家的長者尋求更多照顧,但要兼顧到國家財政的永續、政策可執行性。
他表示,立法院三讀通過「老人福利法」,事前沒有跟行政院徵詢,行政院採取了憲法上的保障。不過站在為國家照顧長者的立場,行政院仍然樂意也會主動再跟立法院尋求共同的意見。

Vice President Hsiao Meiqin stood up for DPP Taipei Mayoral Candidate Shen Boyang's "Taipei Ocean Current" car scan project, presented a straw hat and a modern version of Taiwan's nautical chart, and called on supporters to become Shen Boyang's most important partners. The event was held at Neihu Dahu Park and was packed with people. Sports Minister Li Yang also participated and talked about policies such as sports stations.

Shen Boyang piloted the "Taipei Ocean Current" to Nangang and Neihu. Supporters on both sides of the road shouted "Shen Boyang, Frozen Garlic" in unison, and finally gathered at Dahu Park. Regarding traffic in Neihu, Shen proposed policies such as the Windward Harbor Bicycle Bridge, Youbike 2.0E free of charge, TPASS included in shared motorcycles, the release of unlimited urban replacement housing, and encouraging companies to expand the implementation of flexible working hours. He also reminded supporters not to deal with provocations by themselves, but to seek help from the campaign team.

Lin Dewang, chairman of the Taiwan People's Communist Party, and Chen Zhenzhou, a member of the Central Committee of the same party, were involved in accepting funding from the Chinese Communist Party to run for mayor of Hsinchu City, and were investigated under the anti-infiltration law. Lin Dewang was ordered by the Tainan District Court to be detained without permission to visit, while Chen Zhenzhou was ordered to post a bail of 50,000 yuan and have a restricted residence. The Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office said it would file a protest.

U.S. President Trump appointed hardline immigration policy architect Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Wells who resigned, effective on the 9th. Trump called Miller one of his most trusted advisers. Analysts believe that this move shows that Trump has shifted to a full confrontation mode with the Democratic Party. Democratic leader Schumer criticized Miller as the architect of barbaric and inhumane immigration policies and vowed to fight to the end.

There are 20 days left before the 2026 local elections. The Kuomintang focuses on "returning to defend the two norths, stabilizing the central Taoist country, and advancing the southern highlands" as the focus of the six-city campaign. Party Chairman Zheng Liwen leads the whole party in the sprint. Lu Xiuyan will serve as the general chairperson of the election between Jiang Wanan and Jiang Qichen, campaigning in the two places to support the election and promote blue-white cooperation.

With twenty days to go before the nine-in-one election, the Democratic Progressive Party has finalized its final strategy for gathering votes. President Lai Ching-te, Vice President Hsiao Meiqin, and former President Tsai Ing-wen form a cross-election lineup. Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang will go to Taichung, Hsinchu City, Keelung City, and Taoyuan City to support the campaign. The Party Central Committee will mobilize the firepower of the auxiliary election according to the local election conditions, and strive to turn the support into actual votes.
