隨著年底選戰升溫,藍白兩黨大開選舉支票,其中也包括65歲以上長者免繳健保費,對此,政院人士表示,補助所得稅率未達20%的65歲以上長者全額健保費,若依照今年老人人數推估,經費需399.65億餘元,若到138年,總費用將高達628.6億元,影響國家財政甚鉅。

政院人士指出,全民健保是自助互助社會保險,每人要繳交健保費,以獲得醫療給付,如果是經濟弱勢民眾,政府或考量整體的公平性與國家財政能力,提供全部或部分之自付健保費補助,使全民皆能獲得適當醫療照護。

政院人士說明,目前政府已針對低收、中低收入戶未滿18歲兒少、未滿20歲及年滿55歲以第6類第2目身分加保之原住民及身心障礙者等提供一般保險費全額或部分補助,適度減輕經濟弱勢民眾的保費。

依據「老人參加全民健康保險無力負擔費用補助辦法」第5條規定,政府在今年編列12.2億元全額補助中低收入70歲以上老人健保費逾14萬人;至於65歲至69歲中低收入老人,則是由地方政府考量政策與財政狀況,因地制宜訂定補助基準予以補助。

政院人士強調,在野黨擬提案,補助所得稅率未達20%65歲以上長者全額健保費,若依照今年老人人數推估,經費需399.65億餘元,若到138年,總費用將高達628.6億元,影響國家財政甚鉅。

他並指出,依憲法所建立的權力分立與責任政治原則,施政計畫與預算案的提出權,屬於行政院的憲政職權;立法院則負責法律案、預算案及其他重要議案的審議與議決,依「憲法」第70條及「預算法」第91條精神,立法院不得做增加政府支出的提議,如果立法院決議大幅增加歲出預算,依法必須具體指明彌補資金之來源。

Open Questions

  • 在野黨將如何提出具體資金彌補來源?
  • 行政院後續是否會提出相對應的折衷方案?
