Shi Chongliang: Will discuss with National Health Insurance Association
This year is the second consecutive year that a consensus on the total amount of health insurance has been reached on the same day of the National Health Insurance Council. Unlike in the past years, where payer representatives and medical representatives had different opinions on the total growth rate, negotiations broke down, and the two cases were finally submitted to the Minister of Health and Welfare for approval. Teng Xihua, spokesperson of the Supervisory and Insurance Alliance, is worried that the negotiations on the total amount of health insurance in recent years may become a mere formality.
Teng Xihua pointed out that representatives from the medical community often demand huge amounts of money in meetings with just "a few words". When faced with opposition, they use medical staff to leave and the collapse of medical care to blackmail them. Consumer representatives are unable to refute, resulting in the negotiation of the total amount being reduced to a formality. He calls for the Legislative Yuan to follow the example of the Legislative Yuan and live broadcast the entire meeting.
Shi Chongliang said that before the consultation on the total amount of the National Health Insurance Commission, the agenda will be disclosed seven to nine days before the meeting in accordance with the procedures, and the meeting minutes and speeches will be published on the website ten days after the meeting. All audio and video files will also be retained. Whether it will be made public immediately through live broadcast in the future, we will further discuss with the National Health Insurance Commission members and others to confirm whether there are any other problems. If not, "maybe we can plan in this direction."
