行政院今日正式宣布「不副署」立法院日前三讀通過的「老福法」第22條修正案。

藍白日前強通「老人福利法」第22條修正案,嚴重破壞健保精神、刪除弱勢長者補助法源,引發各界強力反彈,醫師公會全聯會等多個醫療團體更在本週發表聲明重申反對立場。今(6)日行政院正式宣布「不副署」立法院三讀內容,多個醫療團體都表達支持,肯定政院做出正確的決定,也呼籲行政、立法都要檢討修法過程,未來任何修法前都要經過充分溝通。

「老福法」第22條問題條文日前三讀通過;但齊頭式補助65歲以上長者健保費、修法條文刪除要求地方補助弱勢長者相關費用的文字,引發各界強烈擔憂;醫療團體本週更陸續發表聲明,重申反對修法內容的立場,呼籲政府不該讓問題條文倉促上路,行政院也在今日正式宣布「不副署」。

醫師公會全聯會理事長陳相國表示,全聯會支持行政院不副署的決定,也認為這是維持健保永續經營、維持世代公平正義的正確做法,全聯會也絕不希望看到存在問題的法律條文通過後,造成健保財務排擠,衝擊弱勢長者、護理人員薪資調整,或是癌症、重症、罕病等醫療費用,影響真正需要幫助的人。

護理師護士公會全聯會理事長陳麗琴說,行政院不副署「老福法」第22條修正案是全聯會所希望的結果,也是在做「對的事」,否則問題法條一但上路,真正需要被幫忙的老人反而會被漏接,且以年齡劃分補助健保費所帶來的財政缺口,將排擠其他醫療社福費用,更會成為下一代的額外負擔。

陳麗琴也強調,真正的醫療平權是讓有需要的人能夠得到充足的照顧,凡是修法都應該納入相關專業團體意見,後續政府應與社福、醫療、財政相關團體好好檢討這次的修法情況,行政院與立法院也應依照我國財政政策好好溝通,務必確保修法後不會造成排擠效應,做出合法合憲的決定。

牙醫師公會全聯會理事長黃立賢也強調,這次修法最大的問題是過程中從來沒有好好考慮過「錢從哪來」,更草率刪除保障弱勢的文字內容,讓弱勢長者頓失依靠,這樣粗糙的討論作法非常令人擔心,為避免類似情況再發生,行政、立法單位都要好好檢討,務必確保未來修法前都有充分溝通。

Open Questions

  • 立法院後續對行政院不副署的因應作為為何?
  • 未來修法草案是否會重新進行跨界協商?
