65歲以上免健保費!律師嘆:年輕人要幫有資產、有退休金的人買單

Quick Look

立法院16日三讀通過老人福利法第二十二條修正草案,由中央補助綜合所得稅率未達20%的65歲以上長者健保費。律師林智群質疑,20%所得稅門檻相當於年收入133萬元,退休長者難以達標,卻有資產老人可免繳健保費,年輕人平均需多付3000元健保費補貼。醫事團體亦反彈,指出65歲以上長者佔人口19.6%卻消耗43.59%健保資源。

立法院16日舉行院會處理議案,三讀通過「老人福利法第二十二條文修正草案」。(資料照)

立法院昨三讀通過「老人福利法」修正案,由中央補助綜所稅率未達20%的65歲以上長者健保費,引發7大醫事團體反彈。律師林智群發文質疑,20%所得稅門檻是年收入133萬元。65歲以上都退休了,哪來所得稅可以報?他也引用數據質疑,2025年65歲以上的人,佔全部人口19.6%,卻用了健保43.59%的醫療費用,等於一個人用兩倍的健保資源,但年輕人卻要幫這些有資產、有退休金的人買單。

林智群在臉書發文指出,20%所得稅門檻是年收入133萬元。65歲以上都退休了,哪來所得稅可以報?然後一堆在台北市有2、3間房子(加起來超過5000萬元)的老人,可以免繳健保費。

請繼續往下閱讀...

林智群為此列出5項重點:

1.如果老人一個月領5萬元月退,一年收入60萬元,根本不會達到20%所得稅門檻。

2.老人領月退,每年收入還可以扣85萬9000元(退職所得定額免稅額),餘額才要報所得稅,如果要超過20%所得稅門檻,老人年收入要超過218萬9000元,也就是月收入超過18萬2000元,才需要繳健保費。

3.一堆在台北市有2、3間房子,資產超過5000萬元,退休後每天爬山,週休七日,月收入低於18萬元,可以免繳健保費。

4.誰幫這些老人負擔健保費?是那些月入3萬、4萬元,要付房租的上班族。

5.年輕人平均每個人每年要多付3000元健保費,補貼這些資產幾千萬元、年收入低於218萬元的老人。

林智群也PO圖列出數據質疑,2025年65歲以上的人,佔全部人口19.6%,卻用了健保43.59%的醫療費用。跟65歲以下比較,等於一個人用兩倍的健保資源。然後他們免費,我們年輕人幫他們這些有資產、有退休金的人買單?

立法院會昨表決通過國民黨團、民眾黨團共推之「老人福利法部分條文」修正案。民眾黨黨團於表決通過後舉起布幅合影。(資料照)
