Free health insurance for the elderly Jiang Wanan chokes on "Green Camp Double Standard" Lin Chuyin: Either stupid or bad!

Yesterday, Lan and Bai jointly passed the "Amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law" at the third reading in the Legislative Yuan, exempting seniors over 65 years old and whose income tax rate does not reach 20% from paying health insurance premiums. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan said that the Democratic Progressive Party's county mayor candidates support free health insurance for the elderly, but oppose the opposition party's amendment to the law, which is obviously a double standard. In response, Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Chuyin criticized today (17th) that this is a financial resource planned by each county and city on its own. If Blue and White cannot even figure out the division of administrative and legislative powers and responsibilities, "it is either stupid or bad!"

Jiang Wanan said today that many Democratic Progressive Party county and mayor candidates support free health insurance for those over 65 years old. However, the opposition party passed the law amendment, but the Democratic Progressive Party opposed it. He also used the example of a universal cash payment of NT$10,000, questioning whether it can be passed by the Executive Yuan but cannot be passed by the opposition parties. This is obviously a double standard.

In this regard, Lin Chuyin bluntly said in an interview with this newspaper that "people who pretend to be asleep cannot be woken up." Lanbai has not understood the division of powers and responsibilities between executive and legislative at all. If a DPP legislator runs for election as county or city chief, he will serve as chief executive in the future. He can decide whether to increase welfare policies and the amount of related subsidies based on the financial resources of each county and city, just like the executive president can formulate policies and use financial resources.

Lin Chuyin said that if politicians or legislators from the Kuomintang and People's Party don't even understand these basic rights and responsibilities, "then they are stupid" and should study hard and not magnify their ignorance for the whole people to see as a joke.

Lin Chuyin went on to criticize that if these politicians clearly know the difference between administration and legislation, but still deliberately make logical substitutions and distort facts, "that is bad." A politician with bad intentions will destroy the country's democracy and system. Such candidates and parties should be spurned by voters.

Lin Chuyin questioned that if Taiwan's economy is good, the economy must be destroyed, if welfare is good, welfare must be destroyed, and if health insurance is good, health insurance must be destroyed. Are these local collaborators speaking for China? When Blue and White writes welfare checks, they do not really benefit the people, but use the people's tax money and banknotes to help themselves buy tickets.
