藍白強闖通過「65歲以上長者免健保費」 張育萌批:恐成今年最大惡法

立法院三讀通過《老人福利法》第22條修正案,引發各界議論。台灣青年民主協會理事張育萌痛批,此舉將使年輕人每年多負擔數千元保費,並加速健保破產。

Quick Look

台灣立法院三讀通過65歲以上長輩健保免費新法,台灣青年民主協會理事張育萌批評此為今年最大惡法。新法僅排除所得稅率20%以上者,門檻極高形同虛設,多出的保費將轉嫁給15至64歲青壯年,恐導致健保提前破產。

Why It Matters

立法院三讀通過《老人福利法》第22條修正案,放寬65歲以上長輩健保費補助,改由中央全額負擔。

Font size

國民黨、民眾黨聯手硬闖通過「65歲以上長輩健保免費」,台灣青年民主協會理事張育萌發文批評,「恭喜大家一起承擔,這可能是今年最大惡法」唯一的排富條款形同虛設,多出來的保費全部轉嫁給15到64歲承擔,藍白新法通過後,平均你我每年多付3000元。

張育萌在臉書表示,藍白通過的版本(《老人福利法》第22條),幾乎是65歲以上長輩「通通無條件免費」。唯一「排富」的標準,不看財產,反而是看「所得稅率」,而且用20%的級距。(實務上這形同虛設)這門檻極高,換算下來,退休後年所得要超過133萬才需要繳健保費。

請繼續往下閱讀...

張育萌舉例:

●某A:68歲,持有台北兩間房,市值合計5000萬;銀行定存1000萬。

●某B:30歲,無車無房無股票;存款20萬,年薪70萬,北漂每個月房租18000元。

張育萌說,新法通過後,恭喜某A這位富有長輩,因為「年度所得」不高,健保直接免費。人生苦哈哈的某B不只活該繳健保費,健保破產前,保費會再漲價,請你慷慨解囊幫忙分攤。

張育萌指出,65歲以上老人免繳的保費不會憑空消失,全部轉嫁給15到64歲承擔。目前健保高達7成都是青壯年的薪資提撥,藍白新法通過後,平均你我每年多付3000 元。天下沒有白吃的午餐,如果全部改用稅收付掉,每個家庭一年多付超過8000元。明年繳保費和報稅的時候,記得感謝藍白,讓你我每年都多繳幾千塊。

張育萌提到,台灣的健保有「安全準備金」設計,依法健保基金要維持1到3個月(最少要有1個月),防患未然。2026年的當下,健保安全準備餘額大約只剩兩個月。現在修法通過,還用「所得稅率 20%」超寬門檻,上路後,健保安全準備月數會瞬間暴跌到-0.29 個月。沒錯,變成負債。只要低於一個月,政府依法就要立刻調高全民健保費率,否則健保會提前破產。

張育萌說,這就是為什麼,7大醫事團體罕見站出來全部反對,要求「排富」不是看所得稅率,因為退休長輩可能持有不動產或股票,所以該看的是「整體資產」。但藍白鳥都不鳥。這案早在2024年6月27日就黨團協商,完全沒有共識。結果呢?擱置超過兩年之後,直接逕付二讀。民眾黨搶在選前44天,昨天晚上徹夜在議場門口守夜排隊,今天一早搶著送案。跳過委員會討論,要花多少錢也不用精算。韓國瑜今天10點召集朝野協商,3小時內光速三讀通過。

張育萌提到,真正貧窮的長輩,《老人福利法》第22條本來就有規定,如果「無力負擔保費」(低收入和中低收入),縣市政府要補助。藍白這次不只大幅放寬資格,再把「各縣市補助」統一變成「中央補助」。所以,不要幻想縣市政府會出錢囉,通通中央買單。沒問題,《財劃法》惡修後,社會福利預算已經減少107億多元。現在老人健保又免費,從今以後,中央政府每年多出540億,共業我們一起承擔。

張育萌狠酸,「明年繳健保費的時候,記得感謝藍白,讓我們這些年輕人多繳幾千,來拯救瀕臨破產的健保。5月報稅也是,謝謝藍白的『選前大禮包』,讓我的稅越繳越痛苦」。
