立院院會今(6日)三讀通過「老年農民福利津貼暫行條例」修正案,將老農津貼提高至每月1萬5000元。對此民進黨雲林縣立委劉建國批評,藍白倉促修法版本反覆變動,不該因為選舉考量操作民生法案,老農津貼事關社會福利,應該更詳加討論,否則將會上演「老福法」急就章的後果。

劉建國表示,照顧農民是各界都有的共識,要讓老農獲得更好的生活保障,但奇怪的是在野版本反覆變動,有1.2萬、1.5萬版本,哪有沒經過充分討論就倉促表決的道理,此次通過是否會排擠到農業部其他預算,或是否會再重新上演「老人福利法」修正,遺漏保障弱勢族群條款,倉促修法絕不是立委該有的作為。

劉建國強調,執政黨針對老農津貼檢討從4年縮短至2年,且密切注意物價變動,朝正向穩健步調處理,反觀藍白提案未經實質討論就強行三讀,突然翻倍的經費支出恐會影響農業部發展,更恐怕會引發其他八大社福津貼族群的相對剝奪感與階級矛盾,民生法案不應淪為選舉操作工具。

針對行政院下午宣布針對老人福利法修法不副署。劉建國支持行政院的把關,針對65歲以上長者免繳健保費,若貿然推動可能會造成預算排擠與窒礙難行的問題,當然政院應有緩衝空間。

劉建國提到,目前全台有多個縣市其實已憑自身財源開辦長者健保補助,其實地方政府財源若許可本就可以自行可辦,但在野黨一方面在地方宣稱已編列預算,一方面又在中央修法強逼中央買單,此舉形同「誇口要請客,最後卻叫別人買單」邏輯矛盾的誇張行為,呼籲在野應回歸理性審查,尊重國家財政紀律與預算整體平衡。

Open Questions

  • 農業部將如何調整預算以因應津貼支出增加?
  • 行政院後續是否會針對此法案提出覆議?
