Why It Matters

立法院藍白陣營聯手三讀通過老人福利法修正案,主張由中央政府補助65歲以上長者健保費。

Font size

立法院昨(16日)在藍白聯手下三讀通過「老人福利法修正案」,主張中央政府補助65歲以上長者健保費,行政院長卓榮泰批評違憲並造成世代不公;民眾黨主席黃國昌反嗆卓揆「有膽就出來辯論」。對此,民進黨回擊,請具有法學博士學位的黃國昌,先熟讀「憲法」第70條及「預算法」第91條規定,再來討論誰願意跟他辯論。

根據「憲法」第70條規定,「立法院對於行政院所提預算案,不得為增加支出之提議」。「預算法」第91條則明定,「立法委員所提法律案大幅增加歲出或減少歲入者,應先徵詢行政院之意見,指明彌補資金之來源;必要時,並應同時提案修正其他法律。」

黃國昌今天發文質疑,民進黨是在玩兩面手法,還是卓榮泰根本搞不清楚地方的需要?如果補助長者健保費的制度是錯誤的,為何民進黨參選縣市長的立委紛紛提出同樣的政見?為何昨天立法院表決時,沈伯洋、蘇巧慧等人,通通沒有表示反對?

黃國昌說,令人無法辦法接受的是,修法一通過,行政院立刻帶頭造謠,說會犧牲年輕世代。事實是,由政府全額補助65歲以上、所得稅率級距未達20%的長者健保費,可以有效減輕三明治世代的負擔。

民進黨政策會執行長吳思瑤則受訪表示,民進黨身為執政黨,立場已清楚反映在表決投下的反對票,不需要拿個別未在場委員有沒有投票做文章,執政黨反對修法,就是共同立場。民進黨反對修法的理由,包括違法違憲、造成世代不公、傷害健保財政永續,以及再次侵犯行政權限,每一項理由都站得住腳,都是為了捍衛制度及憲政精神。

吳思瑤並批評,民眾黨推動的修法已引發醫界及專業界反對,國家醫療資源應合理分配,若全面補助長者健保費,將排擠照顧醫護人員及增加醫療建設的預算,最終受害的是全民。

「花你我的錢,而且是花下一個世代的錢,來買藍白的票!」吳思瑤強調,健保是全民共有的制度,核心精神是互助,若為了滿足65歲以上長者的健保費補助需求,卻讓青壯世代承擔最大負擔,這就是政治性的「肉桶法案」、「錢坑法案」。

Blue and White strongly recommends free health insurance for those over 65 years old. Shen Rongqin: Ko Wenzhe mistakes generational injustice for equal rights.

Blue and white legislators of the Legislative Yuan jointly passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Act" on the third reading to subsidize the health insurance premiums of the elderly over 65 years old, triggering generational injustice and backlash from the medical community. Shen Rongqin, an associate professor at York University in Canada, pointed out that members and supporters of the Popular Party poured into the comment area to object and criticized Ko Wenzhe, Huang Guochang and Chen Zhihan for disregarding generational justice and fiscal discipline.

The Legislative Yuan passed the third reading of amending the Elderly Welfare Law to exempt health insurance premiums. People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang questioned whether DPP candidates had proposed the same political views. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun countered, saying that local chiefs have financial planning and are administrative powers, but the Legislative Yuan's amendment to the law is unconstitutional and has not explained the source of funding, causing a heavy burden on the national finance.

Blue and White approved the exemption of health insurance premiums for 65-year-olds. Ko Wenzhe called for the rich to be excluded, and even said that "letting young people pay" is a cognitive battle.

Legislators from the Kuomintang and the People's Party jointly passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Law" on the third reading, exempting those over 65 years old from paying health insurance premiums. Ke Wenzhe, the former chairman of the People's Party, said that he has always advocated the establishment of conditions for wealth exclusion and funding from the national social welfare budget, and emphasized that medical care and education should adhere to socialism and opposes universal cash.
