立法院今天三讀通過修法,65歲以上長者符合所得稅條件者,健保費由中央政府補助。民間監督健保聯盟發言人滕西華痛批,補助不應只看年齡,讓有能力繳費的長者也免繳保費,卻由仍須繳保費的青壯年共同負擔稅收支出,根本就是「禍國殃民、債留子孫、製造階級對立、罔顧財富分配、斷送世代正義」的法案。

滕西華表示,照顧長者應優先協助經濟困難者,而非以年齡及綜合所得稅率作為大範圍補助依據。所得稅計算涉及免稅額、扣除額及不同所得類別,適用稅率不能直接反映一個人的完整經濟能力,部分有能力自行負擔健保費的長者,也可能被納入補助。

她質疑,年輕受薪階級必須繳納自己的健保費,也要透過稅收支應長者保費;若補助對象包含經濟條件較好的退休長者,政府的資源分配是否符合公平原則?「老人都是窮的嗎?」她強調,不分年齡,只要經濟困難,政府就應提供協助。

滕西華指出,依衛福部先前估算,相關補助每年需支出逾400億元,隨高齡人口持續增加,未來支出還會擴大。她直言,「立委有任期,爛的法律沒有任期」,法案通過後,政府每年都必須編列預算,不能只考量眼前的政治利益,卻將長期財政責任留給下一代。

她認為,若政府有數百億元預算,更應思考如何挹注全民健保基金,擴大新藥、新醫療科技給付,減輕病人自費負擔,並改善醫療支付,讓醫療院所有能力留住醫師、護理師及其他醫事人員。

「怎麼會去補那一年幾千塊的保費,而不是幫他省一年幾十萬的醫療費用?」滕西華表示,長者與家屬真正需要的,是生病時能獲得適當治療、用得起新藥,也有足夠醫療人力提供照護,這些都需要健保持續投入資源。

滕西華也說,中央代繳保費後,健保署仍會收到保費,不能直接說健保收入因此減少;問題在於,同一筆公務預算若用來額外挹注健保基金,便能增加健保可運用的資源,如今卻用來取代原本由民眾繳納的保費,國庫增加支出,健保並未因此增加同額資源。

她呼籲,政府應將有限預算優先用於經濟弱勢者及改善醫療保障,也要求行政院對三讀法案採取不副署,勿讓補助政策加深世代間的負擔差距。
