Legislator Lin Chuyin went to Puli Town today to accompany Democratic Progressive Party candidate Nantou County Mayor candidate Wen Shizheng and Puli Town Mayor candidate Ye Renchuang's campaign convoy to sweep the streets. She asked Puli townspeople to support Wen and Ye. Before the car sweep, she was asked about the Blue and White legislator's proposal to have the health insurance premiums for those over 65 years old borne by the central government. She criticized the Blue and White legislator for using people's money to save the party's 1,128 votes and making fun of the welfare of future generations.

After noon, Lin Chuyin rushed to Puli Town after the Legislative Yuan meeting. She and Puli Mayor Liao Zhicheng accompanied Wen Shizheng and Ye Renchuang in a convoy to sweep the streets. Lin Chuyin emphasized that Ye Renchuang has the experience of the central government and returns to his hometown, which can help his hometown to obtain more central resources for construction. Wen Shizheng also returned to his hometown after practicing medicine for 30 years. They both hope to make Nantou County and Puli Town better. As a legislator, she will be the backing of Ye and Wen, helping them to obtain funds and resources.

Today, the Blue and White Legislators passed the "Amendment to Certain Articles of the Elderly Welfare Law" to subsidize the elderly over the age of 65 from paying health insurance premiums, which will be borne by the central government. Lin Chuyin criticized the Blue and White Legislators for taking people's money in exchange for 1,128 votes from the Kuomintang. This proposal does not take into account the central government's finances. Once implemented, the central government will prepare regular expenditures every year. Blue and white refers to accounting for 1% of this year's budget. However, this is because Taiwan's economy is very good this year, but there is no guarantee that it will have such high growth every year in the future.

If it becomes a regular budget in the future, it will definitely harm health insurance and even increase people's health insurance premiums. Today, seven major medical groups have come out to protest. In fact, whether or not to fully subsidize the health care premiums of the elderly should be decided by the Executive Yuan based on the financial burden, rather than the Blue and White legislators making fun of the welfare of future children and grandchildren.
