藍白昨在立法院聯手三讀通過「老人福利法修正案」,讓65歲以上、所得稅率級距未達20%的長者免繳健保費;台北市長蔣萬安表示,民進黨縣市長候選人支持長者健保免費,卻反對在野黨修法,明顯是雙重標準。對此,民進黨立委林楚茵今(17日)反批,這是各縣市自行規劃的財源,藍白若連行政、立法權責劃分都搞不清楚,「不是笨就是壞!」

蔣萬安今天表示,很多民進黨縣市長候選人都支持65歲以上長輩健保免費,但在野黨通過修法,民進黨卻反對。他並以普發現金1萬元為例,質疑行政院通過就可以,在野黨要通過就不行,明顯是雙重標準。

對此,林楚茵接受本報訪問時直言,「裝睡的人叫不醒」,藍白根本沒有搞清楚行政與立法的權責劃分。民進黨立委若參選縣市首長,未來擔任的是行政長官,可以依照各縣市財源,決定是否加碼福利政策、以及相關補助金額,如同行政院長能夠制定政策、運用財源的職權。

林楚茵說,如果國民黨、民眾黨的政治人物或立委連這些基本權責都不懂,「那他們是笨」,就應該好好學習,不要把自己的無知還要放大給全民來看笑話。

林楚茵接著痛批,如果這些政治人物明明知道行政與立法的差異,卻仍刻意進行邏輯置換、扭曲事實,「那就是壞」,一個心存壞心的政治人物是會把國家的民主跟制度毀掉,這樣的候選人與政黨,就應該受到選民唾棄。

林楚茵質疑,台灣經濟好就要搞垮經濟,福利好就要搞垮福利,健保好就要搞垮健保,這難道是替中國代言的在地協力者嗎?藍白開出福利支票,並不是真的為人民謀福利,而是拿人民的納稅錢、鈔票來幫自己買票。

Open Questions

  • 各縣市財源如何因應長者免繳健保費的支出?
  • 修法後的具體財政衝擊金額為何?

Elderly people are exempted from health insurance premiums. The PCG launched a blue-and-white bill to amend the law: the national finance will create structural liabilities.

The Legislative Yuan passed the "Elderly Welfare Law" in the third reading yesterday, exempting seniors over 65 years old from paying health insurance premiums. Zhang Honglin, CEO of the PCG, criticized the Blue and White leadership for promoting the money trap bill, which will cause permanent losses and structural liabilities in the national finance due to the loss of health insurance, which is tantamount to paralyzing national fiscal discipline.

Huang Guochang criticized Qingde for his double standard and was slapped in the face by the legal circle: local autonomous finance is completely different from the unconstitutional amendment of the law by the Legislative Yuan

President Lai Qingde attended the inauguration meeting of Pingtung County Magistrate candidate Zhou Chunmi’s campaign headquarters and praised Pingtung for subsidizing health insurance premiums for those over 65 years old. In response to opposition parties questioning the contradiction between the central and local positions, legal experts pointed out that local self-raised budgets are legal autonomy and are fundamentally different from the Legislative Yuan's forced treasury to foot the bill.
