Kuomintang League Chief Fu Kunqi and others proposed a "draft to amend some provisions of the Child and Adolescent Welfare and Rights Protection Law" to add health insurance premiums for children under 6 years old, which will be fully subsidized by the central competent authority. It was submitted to the Social Welfare and Health Environment Committee for review at the Legislative Yuan today. However, on March 27 this year, the Popular Party Group proposed the same amendment to the law, and the first reading was submitted to the committee for review; even the Kuomintang Party Group proposed the same amendment to the law on April 17.

The proposal by Fu Kunqi and others pointed out that our country is facing problems such as the declining number of children and the increasing burden of childcare on families. In order to protect children's health rights and interests and reduce the financial burden of childcare on families, it is necessary for the government to strengthen children's medical and health support measures.

It is added in the draft that the central competent authority will fully subsidize the health insurance premiums for children under 6 years old to improve the welfare and rights protection of children.
