The Legislative Yuan passed the 22nd Amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Law" on the 16th of last month, requiring the central government to fully subsidize health insurance premiums for the elderly below the 20% tax rate.
On the 16th of last month, the Legislative Yuan passed the amendment to Article 22 of the "Elderly Welfare Law", requiring the central government to fully subsidize the health insurance premiums for the elderly with a tax rate of 20%. Unexpectedly, Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang was recently exposed to the "Overseas Guidance" medical group's opposition, sparking discussion. He responded today that if he remained silent in the face of flawed amendments to the law, he would be derelict in his duties. The People's Party Group is now bombarding Shi Chongliang with his transformation from carcinogenic oil to Laofufa, which has made people angry, and even wants him to "study first and then curse others."
The People's Party's Legislative Yuan Caucus held a press conference today (6th) "National Pension Needs to be Raised, DPP Don't Delay!". The caucus's chief convener Chen Qinglong, deputy chief convener Chen Zhaozi, secretary-general Hong Yuxiang and legislator Qiu Huizhen attended the press conference.
The media recently broke the news that Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang has been colluding with medical groups behind the scenes to express his opposition to the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Act" counter-signed by the Executive Yuan. He was interviewed today and said that this amendment not only deletes some medical subsidies, but also clearly violates the spirit of mutual assistance and mutual benefit in health insurance, pay-as-you-go and fairness among generations; he also said that in the face of such serious flaws in the amendment, if he remained silent it would be a serious "dereliction of duty."
Legislator Qiu Huizhen questioned, if the medical groups are not put under pressure, where will the whistleblower be? Criticizing his actions for interfering with others' freedom of expression and "provoking wrath" without realizing it, and complaining that he might have "weak knees" for doing so, he asked Shi Chongliang, "Will his conscience be able to live with it?" He emphasized that the elderly should not receive different medical subsidies due to differences in their living conditions, let alone such a bill that benefits the country and the people. Why should the ruling party oppose it?
"Read before you curse, study before you curse," Chen Zhaozi scolded Shi Chongliang, pointing out that he was once a medical and health professional, but now he shows a strong political party stance. He also pointed out that the Ministry of Health and Welfare was once a professional organization respected by the people, but now it has become a political thug. She questioned that the amendment of the old welfare law did not reduce health insurance income and did not use health insurance funds. The state subsidizes relevant funds. She called Shi Chongliang "what qualifications do you have to speak?" and asked him to understand the complete context of the legislation before speaking.

Non-party legislator Ko Kim So-mei was charged by the High Prosecutor's Office with a 14-year sentence for crimes related to the National Security Law and the Corruption Crime Ordinance. She issued a statement denying that she was developing organizations for the CCP and receiving mainland capital. She accused the indictment of being untrue and believed that she was responsible for the unfavorable investigation of Zhang Junjie, the director of the transfer office.

The Taipei mayoral election is tense. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang said that people who have served in the Taipei City Government in the past are candidates for petitioning, and he does not rule out sharing the stage with Ko Wenzhe. The Kuomintang lifted the ban on Jiang Wanzhe from standing on the platform of the People's Party parliamentary candidate. Jiang Wanan frequently "passed by" Baiying's campaign headquarters, and said that the combination of Ke Wenzhe and Jiang Wanzhe was "very good."

The High Prosecutor's Office investigated the case of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei and his former office director Zhang Junjie, who were involved in the National Security Law and organized the development of China. Prosecutors pointed out that Zhang Junjie accepted resources and huge sums of money from overseas hostile forces, arranged for personnel to go to China to receive united front training, infiltrated indigenous tribes, attempted to be used as a "fifth column", abandoned bail and absconded, and requested 15 years in prison.

The race for mayor of Taipei is heating up. Mayor Chiang Wanan's wife, Shi Fang Gendai, is sweeping the streets. The outside world is paying attention to whether Shen Boyang asked his wife Zeng Xinhui to take part in the campaign. Shen Boyang emphasized that he wanted to run away by himself, but he also respected his wife's wishes and protected his family's privacy. He pointed out that the biggest symbol of Black Bear Social Enterprise Company is himself, not his wife, and revealed that a Chinese person once commissioned a Taiwan Credit Information Agency to follow his wife and children for a month.

Executive Yuan political commissar Chen Shih-chung responded to the controversy over child abuse in Taipei raised by Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, believing that it should be due to the fact that several sudden cases in Taipei City have not been fully handled, rather than comparison with other counties and cities. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang emphasized that the implementation performance of counties and cities should not be judged purely based on numbers, but the attitude and attention of the city government in handling individual cases should be examined.

Luo Zhiqiang, director-general of Taipei Mayor Chiang Wai-an's campaign and legislator Luo Zhiqiang, said that Chiang Kai-shek's election situation is still a "five-five wave", and the "Safe Taipei. With You and Me" parade will be held on the 14th. In terms of blue-white cooperation, Chiang Wai-an's ban on standing for individual White camp legislators is expected to be lifted. "We will wait and see" before the election platform or the form of cooperation, and the subjectivity of the People's Party must be respected.
