Why It Matters

立法院三讀通過老人福利法修正案,旨在減輕長輩健保負擔,讓全國符合條件的長者獲得一致保障。行政院拒絕副署,行政院長卓榮泰認為這會破壞代際正義與行政院施政規劃。國民黨團書記長許宇甄批評行政院濫用拒絕副署作為否決法律的工具,並要求民進黨縣市長候選人公開表態是否維持現有長者健保補助。

針對行政院拒絕副署立法院三讀通過的「老人福利法」修正案,行政院長卓榮泰表示,國會不應以破壞代際正義的方式損害到行政院施政規劃。國民黨團書記長許宇甄痛批,國會修法就是要減輕長輩健保負擔,讓全國符合條件的長者獲得一致保障,行政院卻以代際正義、財政規劃為由拒絕副署。許宇甄要求所有民進黨縣市長候選人公開承諾,是否維持現有長者健保補助,並清楚交代未來政策方向。

卓榮泰昨受訪表示,政府對照顧長者已有現行的制度在運作,行政院會主動也樂意跟立法院好好來談,而不是用表決的方式硬要行政院在不顧國家財政規劃之下,破壞了整個施政的整個規劃。

許宇甄指出,立法院依法審議、表決、通過法律,是民主憲政的正常運作,不是卓榮泰口中的「硬要行政院」。行政院若對法案內容有不同意見,本來就有憲政制度下的溝通與救濟機制,不能因為不滿國會表決結果,就把拒絕副署當成否決法律的工具。

許宇甄說,卓榮泰一方面拒絕副署,一方面又聲稱願意協商,根本是先否定國會決議,再要求立法院接受行政院的條件。拒絕副署不是協商,行政院更沒有權力要求國會只能通過自己滿意的法律。

許宇甄質問,11月28日縣市長選舉即將登場,民進黨中央既然認為擴大老人健保補助違反世代正義,甚至以此為由拒絕副署,那麼民進黨縣市長候選人是否也認同中央立場?未來當選後,會不會檢討甚至取消地方政府現行的老人健保補助?民進黨不能中央批評補助長者不公平,地方卻把同樣政策當成照顧老人家的政績。

許宇甄要求所有民進黨縣市長候選人公開承諾,是否維持現有長者健保補助,並清楚交代未來政策方向。老人福利不能中央一套、地方一套,更不能選前開支票、選後砍福利。

+1 for not countersigning! The blue and white sky is full of bidding to save the election, the Executive Yuan is "not threatened"

Blue and White intensively dealt with bills such as the increase in pensions for elderly farmers, the National Pension Law, the Sexual Equality Law, the National Pension Law, and the Universal Cash Premium of NT$20,000 in the Legislative Yuan. The Executive Yuan announced that it would not countersign the Elderly Welfare Law. Legislators of the Democratic Progressive Party adopted the strategy of absenteeism or not attending and not voting. Green camp internal polls showed that voters disapproved of universal cash payments and the exemption of health insurance premiums for the elderly at a high rate.
