KMT Taipei mayoral candidate Chiang Wanan said he had given Zhao Shaokang a boost and called for rationality within the party.

Chen Yixin, chairman of the Party Central Committee's Cultural Communication Committee, called for focusing on the overall situation and preventing internal disputes from affecting the election campaign.

The third reading of the blue and white campaign to exempt health insurance premiums for those over 65 years old. The Political Yuan: Beyond the Constitution and Generational Injustice

The Legislative Yuan passed the third reading of amendments to Article 22 of the Elderly Welfare Law yesterday, clearly stipulating that the health insurance premiums for seniors over 65 years old whose comprehensive income tax rate does not reach 20% shall be subsidized by the central government. The Ministry of Health and Welfare estimates that of the approximately 4.85 million senior citizens in Taiwan, approximately 4.03 million are eligible for exemption, which requires an allocation of approximately NT$40 billion each year. The Executive Yuan pointed out that there are three problems with the amendment of the law: it deviates from the spirit of mutual assistance in health insurance, crosses the constitutional boundaries, and increases the financial burden through additional expenditures, which may cause unfairness for generations. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang said that if the cost is passed on to people aged 15 to 64, each person will pay about 3,000 yuan more per year. Healthcare Reform Council CEO Lam Nga-wai denounced that the amendment to the law will increase the proportion of seniors exempt from paying premiums from about 5% to more than 80%, which will cause generational division. Zhuang Ruixiong, secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party, asked to clarify whether health insurance is social insurance or social welfare, and questioned whether the People's Party should explain its financial resources. The People's Party held a vigil in front of the Legislative Yuan from late at night on the 15th. The final voting result was that 99 people were present, 60 were in favor and 39 were against, and the Blue and White motion to amend was passed.
