國民黨、民眾黨16日在立法院會聯手三讀通過「老人福利法」第22條修正案,讓65歲以上、所得稅率級距未達20%的長者免繳健保費。民進黨籍台北市長候選人沈伯洋未出席投票,引發爭議;台北市長蔣萬安今(17)表示,很多民進黨縣市長候選人都支持65歲以上長輩健保免費,但在野黨通過又反對;就像普發現金1萬,行政院通過可以,在野黨要通過就不行,明顯的雙重標準。
「老人福利法」第22條修正案,讓65歲以上、所得稅率級距未達20%的長者免繳健保費。沈伯洋今(17)說,這是大量支出,在立法、行政沒有溝通下通過,又違反預算法,恕他對這件事情不予出席、不予投票。
蔣萬安下午出席台北市議員王欣儀競選總部成立活動,被問到民進黨要選縣市長的立委都不敢表態一事,蔣萬安表示,很多民進黨縣市長候選人都支持65歲以上長輩健保免費,但現在在野黨通過以後,他們又都反對;就像之前普發現金1萬,行政院通過就可以,在野黨要通過就不行,這就很明顯的雙重標準,老百姓都看在眼裡。

Chief Executive Officer Zhuo Rongtai attended a support event for Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, criticizing current mayor Chiang Wanan's political views of not mentioning the Taiwanese government 50 days before the election as speculation. He also questioned KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen's statement of "saving Wanan" and asked citizens why they should save the mayor.

Blue and white legislators of the Legislative Yuan jointly passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Act" on the third reading to subsidize the health insurance premiums of the elderly over 65 years old, triggering generational injustice and backlash from the medical community. Shen Rongqin, an associate professor at York University in Canada, pointed out that members and supporters of the Popular Party poured into the comment area to object and criticized Ko Wenzhe, Huang Guochang and Chen Zhihan for disregarding generational justice and fiscal discipline.

US media reported on the 16th that White House Press Secretary Katie Zakaria had been fired after taking office less than a week ago. Zakaria later posted on social media that it was "an honor" to work for Trump. Trump previously said he suggested she "reconsider" the position.

The Legislative Yuan passed the third reading of amending the Elderly Welfare Law to exempt health insurance premiums. People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang questioned whether DPP candidates had proposed the same political views. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun countered, saying that local chiefs have financial planning and are administrative powers, but the Legislative Yuan's amendment to the law is unconstitutional and has not explained the source of funding, causing a heavy burden on the national finance.

Chief Executive Officer Zhuo Rongtai attended a support event for Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and praised Shen for his positive approach to elections, high emotional intelligence, technology and creativity. At the same time, Zhuo Rongtai criticized the current mayor Jiang Wanan whose political opinions in the past four years have centered on "Huida, the Arena, and Milk" and lacked vision.

Legislators from the Kuomintang and the People's Party jointly passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Law" on the third reading, exempting those over 65 years old from paying health insurance premiums. Ke Wenzhe, the former chairman of the People's Party, said that he has always advocated the establishment of conditions for wealth exclusion and funding from the national social welfare budget, and emphasized that medical care and education should adhere to socialism and opposes universal cash.
