Why It Matters

立法院財政委員會5日審查中華民國115年度中央政府總預算追加預算案,衛福部長石崇良列席。藍白立委挾人數優勢三讀修正「老人福利法」,明訂由中央補助所得稅率未達20%長者全額健保費。過去3年行政院共挹注800億元至健保基金,讓健保在醫療需求增加、總額每年以5.5%高成長的情況下,不用調升保費。

藍白立委挾人數優勢三讀修正「老人福利法」,明訂由中央補助所得稅率未達20%長者全額健保費;隨後有媒體報導,衛福部長石崇良曾越洋傳訊動員醫療與社福團體反對修法。石崇良今(5日)強調,維護全民健保制度永續是其責任,修法後所需投入的預算勢必產生排擠效應,大大增加調升健保費的壓力,呼籲各界共同支持健保制度健全,「我是非常憂心」。

立法院財政、社福及衛環等7個委員會今天召開聯席會議,審查115年度中央政府總預算追加預算案,石崇良列席並於會前接受媒體聯訪。

針對「老福法」修法衝擊,石崇良表示,全民健保是國人最大的資產,過去3年行政院共挹注800億元至健保基金,讓健保在醫療需求增加、總額每年以5.5%高成長的情況下,不用調升保費。但「老福法」通過後,勢必排擠相關財務,大大增加未來調升健保費的壓力。

對於多位民進黨縣市首長參選人提出老人健保免費政策,石崇良回應,衛福部的責任是維持整體健保制度不受破壞,使其可以長期穩定發展;地方政府依自有財源進行調整,設定施政目標推動各項福利措施,本屬地方自治精神,「我們當然都會予以尊重」。

媒體也關切,衛福部次長呂建德與民進黨立委王世堅昨針對「貧窮線」計算引發爭執,石崇良說明,衛福部採取的貧窮線統計標準與經濟合作暨發展組織(OECD)相同,但這與各項社會福利政策的補助標準並非完全一致,例如部分老人福利津貼或弱勢津貼,即使對象所得高於貧窮線,政府仍會提供補助;大家在討論時的話語沒有完全對上,衛福部後續會加強對外說明。

US-Iraq War Prices Soar, BBC Reveals 5 Reasons for Republican Party’s Disastrous Midterm Election Defeat

The U.S. Democratic Party swept both houses of Congress in the midterm elections, and the Republican Party, which lost control of Congress, was seen as voters' strong rejection of Trump's two-year administration in the White House. Factors such as soaring prices, the U.S.-Iran war, and the defection of minority votes have severely damaged the Republican election. Nearly 80% of voters believe that inflation has caused economic difficulties, and more than 60% believe that higher than usual prices are caused by Trump's policies.
