藍白烏龍修法欺負弱勢長輩! 鍾佳濱:搶弱者的肉去塞強者牙縫

Quick Look

民進黨立委鍾佳濱批評國民黨與台灣民眾黨強行修正《老人福利法》第22條,擴大健保費補助範圍至所得稅率20%以下長者,同時刪除經濟弱勢長者的健保部分負擔補助與非健保醫療補助,稱此為劫貧濟富行為,將弱勢長者的救命錢轉給經濟優勢者,並指出修法將使國庫增加388億支出,損害原先弱勢長者權益。

藍白上週強推「老人福利法」第22條修法,加入65歲以上有條件免健保費的文字外,也刪除要求地方補助弱勢長者相關費用的法源依據。民進黨立委鍾佳濱今批判,藍白佯裝照顧長輩之名倉促惡修「老人福利法」,如今遭揭露,暗中將經濟弱勢長輩的「健保部分負擔補助」與「非健保醫療補助」刪除,簡直是「劫貧濟富」,搶弱者的肉去塞強者的牙縫。

鍾佳濱指出,昨天是九九重陽節,本應是替長輩歡慶的節日,卻收到悲報,中低收入老人的「健保部分負擔補助」以及「非健保醫療補助」,全被藍白立委聯手砍掉了。依《老人福利法》第22條規定,原條文之補助範圍僅針對經濟弱勢,上週五國眾兩黨卻強行修法,迫使政府擴大補助範圍至所得稅率20%以下之長者,就連經濟優勢者亦能獲得健保費補助。

請繼續往下閱讀...

鍾佳濱說,藍白強硬將這扇原先專屬經濟弱勢長輩的大門撐開後,卻轉身將真正的弱勢趕出門外,大刀一揮,將原先補助經濟弱勢的「健保部分負擔補助」、「非健保醫療補助」全數刪除,搶弱勢的救命錢去補貼富者,劫貧濟富,強搶弱者的肉去塞強者的牙縫。如此低落不堪的修法,藍白居然還能大言不慚,高喊是送給長輩的重陽節禮包,這不是禮物,而是不堪入目的悲歌。

鍾佳濱強調,藍白倉促烏龍修法、恣意欺負弱勢長輩,不僅國庫須增加388億支出,原先弱勢長輩可享有之補助也付之一炬,百害而無一利;行政院必須採取必要處置,以保護《老人福利法》原先所賦予的權益。

Peaceful demonstrations in France escalate into violent riots, Macron blames far leftists

In a televised speech, French President Macron criticized the violent acts such as arson and looting that occurred during the demonstrations, saying that they made people feel "anger and shame" and blaming the radical far left and criminals. About 500,000 people took to the streets across the country to demonstrate. The incidents involved the destruction of public buildings, looting of shops, and burning of police vehicles in many cities. As a result, 2,400 people were arrested, nearly 1,000 police officers were injured, and one person died.

Is the Blue and White practice named after "giving out the package"? From the old Fu method to the financial planning method, taking stock of the three major overturns in the opposition

The Blue and White Legislators revised the financial planning law three times within a year, and problems such as errors in mathematical formulas and missing implementation dates were revealed. Recently, the third reading was forced to amend Article 22 of the Elderly Welfare Law, which deleted the legal source of partial payment of expenses for vulnerable elders and subsidy for expenses other than health insurance benefits, and only retained the full subsidy for health insurance premiums. This triggered criticism from Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Chuyin, who pointed out that medical subsidies for low-income and low-middle-income elders would lose their legal basis.

Will you cause big trouble by forcefully pushing Laofu to practice the law? Kuomintang League: Elderly health insurance subsidies will not crowd out the disadvantaged

Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, responded to the controversy over the Blue and White Legislators’ amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law to delete some of the costs borne by disadvantaged elders and other legal sources of subsidies. He pointed out that medical security for disadvantaged groups not only relies on the Elderly Welfare Law, but also has independent legal basis from the National Health Insurance Law, Social Assistance Law and local systems. Approved administrative benefits cannot be canceled arbitrarily. The purpose of amending the law is to increase the responsibility for health insurance subsidy to the central government to eliminate regional disparities, rather than weakening medical care for disadvantaged elders.
