針對藍白質疑賴總統肯定屏東縣政府推動長者健保費補助是「雙標」,民進黨發言人李坤城今表示,總統肯定的是周春米縣長在不舉債、不排擠其他政策的前提下,推動兒童營養金、長者健保費補助等福利措施,藍白卻刻意忽略財政紀律與預算權責,將地方政府自行編列預算,與立法院修法要求中央增加支出混為一談,根本是偷換概念、誤導社會,黃國昌、蔣萬安若真心關心長者福利,就應該正面回答財源從何而來、如何確保健保制度永續。
李坤城指出,屏東縣政府是在評估財政能力、確認有足夠財源後,才決定擴大長者健保費補助,這正符合中央政府一貫堅持的「不舉債、不排擠其他政策、合法合憲」三大原則。反觀藍白聯手通過的「老人福利法」修法,每年將增加近400億元支出,2049年更將超過628億元。面對高齡化帶來的長期財政壓力,藍白不願正視財源與世代正義,卻忙著拿總統談話大做文章,難道只要喊出福利政策,就可以不必交代錢從哪裡來?

李坤城強調,民進黨從來沒有反對照顧長者,中央政府持續健全醫療及長照制度,地方政府也能依據財政能力與在地需求,擴大長者福利。但福利政策不能只顧眼前,更不能犧牲其他公共建設及未來世代的權益。尤其憲法第70條明定立法院不得對行政院所提預算案增加支出,「預算法」第91條也要求,立委提出大幅增加歲出的法律案,應先徵詢行政院意見。地方政府增加福利,都必須自行編列預算、交由議會審議,難道到了中央,藍白就能無視憲政分際,逕自要求行政院承擔財政責任?
李坤城最後表示,照顧長者不該淪為政治攻防的工具。黃國昌、蔣萬安若真心關心長者福利,就應該正面回答財源從何而來、如何確保健保制度永續,而不是斷章取義、製造對立。藍白不能一邊要求政府增加支出,一邊迴避財政責任,更不能把依法行政、堅守財政紀律的政府,抹黑成反對照顧長者。
