Font size

DPP Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun rushed to the West District and Nantun District today (9th) to carry out convoy street sweeps. Since the Taichung City Council’s KMT group accused He Xinchun of not voting in the Legislative Yuan on the 8th when voting on the "Elderly Welfare Law" amendment and the universal cash bill, He Xinchun said that universal cash is her consistent attitude and has never changed. Because the Legislative Yuan cannot increase the budget, it is an unconstitutional bill, so she did not participate in the vote. After being elected as Taichung mayor, cash will definitely be universal.

He Xinchun emphasized that as for the elderly health insurance, it is the central government’s consideration. Taichung City has compiled a budget for elderly health insurance subsidies. Since there is a budget, of course it must be implemented.

On the morning of the 9th, He Xinchun, accompanied by Taichung City Council candidates Jiang Zhaoguo and Huang Shouda of the Democratic Progressive Party, rushed to Jun'an Palace in the Western District to conduct street sweeping in a convoy. When asked, "The Kuomintang group accused the Legislative Yuan of voting against or disagreeing with the Legislative Yuan vote, including voting against or disagreeing with universal cash and senior citizen health insurance." He Xinchun said that from the time of former President Tsai Ing-wen to the current President Lai Ching-te, they have always advocated universal cash. "I think they (Kuomintang) missed a lot of words."

He Xinchun said that because the Legislative Yuan cannot increase the budget, she did not participate in the vote on the unconstitutional bill in the Legislative Yuan. Her public speeches have always advocated that cash should be universal. As long as the government has enough money, it should take the initiative to make cash universally available. If the Taichung City Government has enough money, the elected mayor will definitely make cash universally available. This is her consistent attitude that has never changed.

As for the elderly health insurance subsidy, He Xinchun emphasized that the central government has its own considerations. In Taichung City, the elderly health insurance subsidy is not an issue. The Taichung City Government has compiled a budget. Councilmen Jiang Zhaoguo and Huang Shouda have seen the elderly health insurance subsidy budget when reviewing the city budget. Since there is a budget, of course it must be implemented. The elected mayor must continue to implement the elderly health insurance subsidy budget.

Open Questions

  • What is the specific record of He Xinchun’s absence from relevant voting in the Legislative Yuan?
  • What are the specific amounts and implementation details of the Taichung City Government’s elderly health insurance subsidy budget?
