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,行政院也表示,此項偏離健保互助精神、逾越憲政分際,新增支出加重財政負擔,恐造成世代不公平。媒體人詹凌瑀質疑,這叫政策買票。買票的人要選票,付錢的是你的小孩。她也強調選舉是一時的,健保一旦垮了,誰都救不回來。

詹凌瑀在臉書發文指出,立法院三讀通過「老人福利法」修法,65歲以上、綜所稅率未達20%的長者,健保費全免,中央買單。60票對39票,藍白硬闖,民進黨擋不住。

請繼續往下閱讀...

詹凌瑀表示,聽起來很孝順,對吧?先看一個數字。稅率未達20%,什麼概念?台灣絕大多數人的稅率都在20%以下。現在免繳保費的長者大約5%,修法後直接跳到8成以上。這叫排富?這叫全包。

詹凌瑀直言,再看第二個數字。目前補助弱勢長者健保費,一年大約20億。修法以後,數百億起跳。錢從哪裡來?健保沒有印鈔機。衛福部算過了,轉嫁給15到64歲的人,每人每年多付3000多元。所以這個法案的真面目是什麼?不是老人免費,是年輕人加價。

詹凌瑀強調,健保能撐30年,靠的是一個很簡單的道理:有錢的多出一點,年輕的多出一點,大家一起扛。藍白這一刀,直接砍在這個道理上。65歲以上是用掉最多醫療資源的族群,這沒什麼好避諱的,年紀大了本來就會多看病。問題是,用最多的人,從此不用付錢。繳最多的人,繼續繳,而且繳更多。這不是互助,這是啃小。

詹凌瑀質疑,少子化、高齡化,年輕受薪人口一年比一年少,扛的人越來越少,被扛的人越來�多。健保本來就在走鋼索,藍白現在往鋼索上再加幾百億,然後跟你說,放心,不會掉。你信嗎?

詹凌瑀批評,更難看的是過程。民眾黨在議場前守夜,隔天表決完,馬上用議事技巧否決復議,確保這案子再也翻不了。一個牽動數百億、影響幾千萬人的健保制度,從頭到尾沒有像樣的社會討論。守夜是為了長輩嗎?守夜是為了選票。

詹凌瑀指出,還有韓國瑜。行政院長上午當面請他遵守憲法第70條、預算法第91條,立法院不能替行政院增加支出。他聽了,然後就讓它過了。立法院長的角色是主持議事,不是幫某一邊開大門。

詹凌瑀強調,長輩要的是什麼?長照、慢性病照護、社區支持。真正繳不起健保費的,現在本來就有補助。藍白沒有把錢花在長輩真正需要的地方,而是挑一個最容易貼在看板上的口號:老人免健保費。這叫政策買票。買票的人要選票,付錢的是你的小孩。

詹凌瑀表示,選舉是一時的,健保一旦垮了,誰都救不回來。到時候,長輩拿著健保卡去醫院,發現醫院撐不下去了,誰負責?

詹凌瑀在文末也批評,今天投贊成票的那60個人,記得把名字留好。將來健保費調漲的時候,大家會想起來的。

Jiang Wanan is crazy about the show, but Shen Boyang’s search interest is even higher! Fanzhuan analysis: The rhythm of Taipei election news has changed

At the end of the year, the Taipei mayoral election entered its final stage. The current mayor Chiang Wanan has increased his exposure through intensive policy announcements and interviews on political programs. However, the analysis of "Voice and Politics" shows that he has not driven the public's active search interest. On the other hand, the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang continues to attract attention through activities such as street sweeping with the "Ocean Current" fleet. The search popularity and the number of green live broadcast views show a growing trend, indicating that the media rhythm of Taipei's election campaign is changing.

The Kuomintang donated RMB 20,000 to save the election and was forced to show off the day before the political Yuan vote.

The Kuomintang is pushing to increase the amount of universal cash to 20,000 yuan. The Legislative Yuan has submitted the special bill to the second reading and consultation. The third reading is expected to be as soon as November 17. Executive Yuan Zhuo Yongtai said that an AI bonus of NT$10,000 has been budgeted and will not cause crowding out or borrowing, but warned that if the opposition parties ignore the national finances, the Executive Yuan will have no choice. The experience of last year's general recall showed that the general issue affected the election, and the ruling team was worried that accepting the blue camp's increase would aid the KMT's election and damage the country's financial sustainability.

Health insurance premiums are free for those over 65 years old! Lawyer laments: Young people have to help people with assets and pensions pay the bills

The Legislative Yuan passed the draft amendment to Article 22 of the Elderly Welfare Law on the third reading on the 16th. The central government will subsidize the health insurance premiums for the elderly over 65 years old whose comprehensive income tax rate does not reach 20%. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun questioned that the 20% income tax threshold is equivalent to an annual income of 1.33 million yuan. It is difficult for retired elderly people to meet the standard, but elderly people with assets are exempted from paying health insurance premiums. Young people need to pay an average of 3,000 yuan more in health insurance premium subsidies. Medical groups also rebounded, pointing out that people over 65 account for 19.6% of the population but consume 43.59% of health insurance resources.

Before the blue election, Huang Diying criticized Fu Kunqi for corrupting the finances and defrauding the people by issuing guava tickets.

The Legislative Yuan passed the Kuomintang group's proposal, requiring a universal cash payment of 20,000 yuan before the election and a second reading for negotiation. Lawyer Huang Diying criticized the proposal for not accounting for financial resources, failing to explain whether it would exclude other budgets, and violating Article 70 of the Constitution. He described it as a "guava ticket" and accused it of defrauding the people. He questioned Fu Kunqi's three criminal records and her unfitness to serve as the chief convener of the party caucus.
