藍白惡修「老福法」!7大醫療團體再表態籲「補破窗」

醫界強調「健保不是福利」,警告免繳政策將破壞健保永續並產生反效果

Quick Look

台灣醫務管理學會等七大醫療團體發表聲明,反對藍白強推的「老人福利法」第22條修正案,認為修法破壞健保量能付費與風險分擔精神,並可能導致「有錢長者免繳、弱勢長者漏接」的反效果。團體籲請行政院及立法院正視疑慮,邀集醫界、健保會、精算與財政學者、長者及青年團體共同研商,召開公聽會,重新審慎檢討補助對象、財源與配套,切勿倉促定法。

藍白日前強推「老人福利法」第22條修正案,引發破壞健保精神、刪除弱勢長者保障等2大問題,如今行政院表態時限將至,醫療團體陸續發布聲明表態反對修正案,今日台灣醫務管理學會等7大醫療團體再度發聲表態,建請行政院及立法院正視各界疑慮審慎再議,並邀請相關團體參與討論。

台灣醫務管理學會理事長洪子仁說,行政院最慢6日會對「老福法」修正案做進一步處理,因此學會等7大團體希望在此之前重申對於65歲以上長者免健保費的核心看法,醫界不談政治角力,只想表達「健保不是福利」,這樣的政策破壞量能付費、風險分擔的精神,絕對是不對的做法。

洪子仁強調,過去地方以年齡補助長者健保費就已經做錯、陸續引發破窗效應,現在竟一錯再錯,相關團體都希望能在這個時間點把破窗堵上,否則2075年台灣65歲以上長者將超過50%,若這次修法內容真的上路,屆時幾乎等同於全台半數民眾不用繳保費,健保財務永續精神將蕩然無存。

此外,洪子仁表示,未來若政府補助不足以支撐長者健保費補助的缺口,最終還是得由被保險人承擔,包括長者在內的所有病人都將受害,年輕患者明明繳了保費,卻無法得到更好的照顧,長者乍看之下得到福利,實際上享受的醫療資源卻沒有更好,且造成「有錢長者免繳、弱勢長者漏接」的反效果。

前健保署長李伯璋也指出,這次改由中央補助保費,有無穩定財源卻並未在修法時說明,目前預估新制將新增388億元支出,2049年長者占比逾35%時,就將膨脹至600多億元。

台灣醫院協會、台灣私立醫療院所協會、台灣醫務管理學會、台灣醫學中心協會、中華民國區域醫院協會、台灣社區醫院協會、台灣醫療社團法人協會等也在聲明中強調,不論過去地方政府競相補助長者健保費,或此次改由中央負擔,只要傷害健保永續,都應檢討。

7大團體也提到,若健保永續被當成「提款機」,免繳政策不斷加碼,保險的互助精神與制度基礎恐逐步瓦解,建請行政院及立法院正視各界疑慮審慎再議,邀集醫界、健保會、精算與財政學者、長者及青年團體共同研商,召開公聽會,就補助對象、財源與配套重新審慎檢討切勿倉促定法。
