苗栗縣議會藍綠黨團,在此次定期會中都推動65歲以上長者健保費補助,苗栗縣政府今(7)日指出,針對行政院拒絕副署「老人福利法」修正草案,苗栗縣長鍾東錦表示遺憾,並強勢表態「中央不做、地方來做」,預估全年將編列6億元預算;苗縣府社會處長張國棟表示,全縣將有65歲以上長者及55歲以上原住民約11萬人受惠,因還要行政作業,最快明年初實施。

苗栗縣議會近期召開的定期會中,民進黨縣長候選人陳品安今年6月即提出65歲以上長者及55歲以上原住民免健保費政見,民進黨團更正式提案,要求苗縣府予編列經費補助;國民黨團則提案建請苗縣府依立法院10月16日通過老人福利法,由中央政府全額補助65歲以上長者的健保費,以減輕子女的扶養負擔。

針對行政院拒絕副署「老人福利法」修正草案,鍾東錦對65歲長者免健保費政策,強調「中央不做,就地方來做」,並指這個政策秉持「政府公平對待每一個人」的原則,預估全年編列6億元預算,全面落實對縣內長者的照顧。

鍾東錦指出,全民健保屬於國家的整體社會保險,制度與福利理應「全國一致」,不該因縣市財政不同而讓長者面臨差別待遇。他強烈呼籲中央政府不要一再逃避責任,應肩負起照顧全體國民的義務,盡速落實全國性的長者健保補助。

「在此之前,苗栗長輩的健保,由鍾東錦承擔起來!」鍾東錦強調,讓長輩安心就醫,是我們對上一代最好的感恩;這筆6億元的經費雖是不小的財政負擔,但施政除了要精打細算,更要有照顧鄉親的決心。未來,縣府也將持續結合苗栗縣議會的支持,推動敬老愛心卡、敬老禮金與社區長照,一步步建構完整的照顧網,讓苗栗長輩都能安心、有尊嚴地生活。
