Taichung City's elderly health insurance subsidy policy has become a focus of attack and defense in the mayoral election, with the blue and green camps having disputes over the policy's continuity.
Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen said that if DPP candidate He Hsinchun is elected, "Taichung may have no elderly health insurance subsidy." Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan even said for two days in a row that if He Hsinchun is elected, the elderly health insurance subsidy may be cut; city council DPP caucus chief Zhou Yonghong rebuked He Xinchun announced long ago that he would continue to extend the health insurance subsidies for the elderly after he was elected. Jiang Qichen and Lu Xiuyan rushed to spread rumors and intimidate their elders to steal votes, setting the worst example for democracy. Congressman Huang Shouda also criticized Jiang and Lu. They were completely incoherent during the election and could not understand the situation.
In this regard, He Xinchun once again emphasized that she has publicly promised many times that if she takes office, she will continue to promote the elderly health insurance subsidy policy. Her momentum is getting better and better, and the polls are getting stronger. "A lot of defamation, slander and rumors have come out."
Zhou Yonghong pointed out that Lu Xiuyan and Jiang Qichen actually publicly spread rumors, saying that if Jiang Qichen loses the election for elders, there will be no health insurance subsidies. However, after He Xinchun announced his election long ago, Taichung City’s elders’ health insurance subsidy policy has continued. This is a public fact. Why? Jiang Qichen and Lu Xiuyan are now rushing to spread rumors, which is extremely undesirable. They are basically using intimidation to their elders to defraud votes and set the worst example for democracy. "In order to rush for votes for Jiang Qichen, the elders are worried that their health insurance subsidies will disappear. Do you feel at ease?"
Huang Shouda also said that in the past period, many counties and cities still launched the elderly health insurance subsidy even if the Legislative Yuan did not amend the law, and all of them were successfully promoted. Lu Xiuyan and Jiang Qichen now claim that Taichung City’s elderly health insurance subsidy will be canceled because the Executive Yuan did not countersign.
Huang Shouda said that this time the Legislative Yuan’s blue-white monopoly passed the old man’s health insurance subsidy bill, which has many flaws. Lu and Jiang avoided talking about it, and they did not understand Taichung City’s municipal government. The budget for the elderly health insurance subsidy for next year has been reviewed by the parliament. Everyone supports it. Lu and Jiang will still make such speeches. Is it possible that the polls are getting closer and strange mistakes are starting to happen? I believe that citizens have sharp eyes and can distinguish right from wrong.
