藍白16日強硬三讀通過《老人福利法》第22條修正案,讓65歲以上長者免繳健保費,民眾黨主席黃國昌稱新法上路後的健保收入缺口將由中央政府負擔,消息一出,引發各界強烈反彈。對此,律師賴中強今(18)日揭露,藍白立委為了通過這條修正案,竟選擇犧牲台灣貧困長者的3項醫療補助法源依據,痛斥「藍白不仁」。

賴中強今日中午發文直言,藍白強硬三讀通過《老福法》反而「闖大禍」,因為《老福法》竟刪除了「中低收入老人」健保部分負擔補助及非健保醫療補助,痛斥藍白不仁,以中低收入老人為芻狗。根據教育部《重編國語辭典修訂本》記載,「芻狗」在古時指用草編結成的狗形,供祭祀用,用完即丟棄;後比喻輕賤無用之物。

賴中強還在貼文中附上2張照片,第一張是立法院16日三讀通過《老福法》第22條條文,依據藍白黨團共提再修正動議通過,他細看之後以為自己看錯三讀通過的條文,於是今日一早將立法院16日院會議事隨選視訊系統(IVOD)錄影重聽了兩遍,確認修正後的《老福法》第22條,僅規定符合所得條件的老人或其法定扶養義務人,由中央主管機關全額補助老人參加全民健康保險的保險費。

賴中強指出,藍白為了挽救選情,急就章修法,竟完全不附理由、莫名其妙刪除對於年老無力負擔「健保部分負擔」及「健保給付未涵蓋醫療費用」者的補助法源,僅剩「全民健康保險之保險費」這一個項目。根據修正前的《老福法》第22條明定,老人或其法定扶養義務人無力負擔「全民健康保險之保險費、部分負擔費用或保險給付未涵蓋之醫療費用」時,直轄市、縣(市)主管機關應予補助。

賴中強進一步分析,雖然《全民健康保險法》第27條第5款另有低收入戶健保部分負擔的補助規定,但此次修法仍使3項補助失去法源,分別是「低收入老人健保給付未涵蓋醫療費用」、「中低收入老人健保部分負擔」,以及「中低收入老人健保給付未涵蓋醫療費用」,其中也包括假牙等醫療支出。

賴中強痛批,藍白將原本由各縣市依財政狀況評估實施的老人健保費補助,改由中央全額負擔,再以擴大實施作為宣傳,試圖挽救「對藍白不利」的選情,結果卻刪除弱勢長者原有的醫療補助法源,「這根本不是老人福利法的修正,而是財政收支劃分法的第四次惡修」。不僅如此,1年多前《老福法》修正案就因為各界反彈而暫停推進,原本進入二讀的逐條討論,改為決議協商後再行處理,未料藍白竟然會無預警捲土重來、突襲修法,行徑引起全台7大醫事團體聯合發表聲明譴責。

賴中強引述媒體報導指出,此次修法是由黃國昌下令發動突襲,由民眾黨立法院黨團8名立委15日在立法院議場前搭帳篷、輪班徹夜排隊,並由黃國昌率領立委直播,隨後由傅崐萁、許宇甄、陳清龍、洪毓祥簽署再修正動議,立法院長韓國瑜主持協商不僅未事先預告,立法院官網甚至僅標示「議案協商」,沒明確列出《老福法》名稱,現場也未充分釐清原條文與修正草案內容,便直接宣讀再修正動議並進行表決。

賴中強還提到,民眾黨擔心民進黨在下次院會結束前提出復議,在《老福法》第22條修正案三讀通過後,民眾黨團總召陳清龍隨即自行提出復議,再自行否決復議,藉此阻止民進黨在下次院會結束前提出復議,堵住民主體制內的除錯機制,完全違反了台灣的國會審議法案應遵守的「公開透明原則」與「討論原則」。

賴中強痛斥,「天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗;藍白不仁,以中低收入老人為芻狗」,藍白把原本各縣市根據財政狀況,自行評估是否實施的老人健保費補助,甩鍋給中央「全額負擔」,直言全國低收入及中低收入老人何辜,竟要承受醫療補助被剝奪的後果,呼籲全民發聲,要求黃國昌、傅崐萁、許宇甄、陳清龍、洪毓祥辭去職務,韓國瑜須道歉並公開宣示未來會遵守國會審議的「公開透明原則」與「討論原則」。
