立法院三讀通過老人福利法修正案,將對符合條件的65歲以上長者提供健保費全額中央補助,門檻為最近1年綜合所得未達申報標準或綜所稅率未達20%。醫師公會全聯會對此提出嚴正反對,認為該修法將排擠醫療資源並造成世代不公。
立法院三讀通過「老人福利法」修正案,符合條件的65歲以上長者,健保費將由中央全額補助。中華民國醫師公會全國聯合會發聲明嚴正反對,直指每年數百億元補助恐排擠護理人力、急重症及偏鄉醫療等預算,一旦就醫可近性與醫療品質受影響,長者反而首當其衝。
醫師公會全聯會理事長陳相國表示,醫師每天在第一線照顧高齡病人,比誰都清楚長輩的醫療需求。照顧長者的正確做法,是把錢花在醫療服務本身,而非以近乎全面免繳保費的方式,削弱支撐長者醫療的健保財源。

立法院昨三讀通過「老人福利法」第22條修正條文,65歲以上長者最近1年綜合所得未達申報標準,或綜所稅率未達20%者,健保費改由中央主管機關全額補助。醫師公會全聯會對此表達嚴正反對與深切遺憾,認為修法恐造成世代不公、掏空健保根基,並排擠醫療資源。
醫師公會全聯會指出,綜所稅率要達20%,年所得約需133萬元以上,絕大多數65歲以上長者都在門檻之下,本案名為照顧弱勢,實質上等同「65歲以上全面免健保費」。
醫師公會全聯會進一步指出,所得稅率無法反映長者的真實經濟能力,長者收入多為退休金、免稅所得或租金、股利,課稅所得偏低,不代表沒有負擔能力。依中經院研究分析2021年財稅資料,稅率未達20%的65歲以上者,平均個人所得約12萬元,平均財富卻近1600萬元;同一稅率級距的25至64歲青壯族群,平均所得近40萬元,平均財富僅約700萬元。以所得稅率排富,結果可能加重年輕族群的健保負擔。
醫師公會全聯會表示,依健保署資料,2025年65歲以上保險對象人數約占19.6%,醫療費用卻約占43.59%;近10年健保醫療費用的成長,超過6成來自65歲以上族群。高齡化帶來的醫療需求將持續增加,健保此時最需要穩定、充足的財源,本案每年需數百億元,且隨超高齡化逐年擴大,與健保財務需求方向完全相反。
醫師公會全聯會強調,政府財政資源有限,每年數百億元補助支出,勢必排擠健保總額成長、點值保障、護理人力政策、急重症與偏鄉醫療等預算。政府與醫界多年公私協力,健保財務才逐步回穩、人力才稍有回流,若成果因此倒退,第一線院所與醫事人員將再度承受壓力,最終受害的是全體病人。
醫師公會聯會批評,涉及數百萬人、每年數百億元的社會保險財務變動,卻在缺乏完整精算、未充分聽取醫界與專家意見下通過,「這不是負責任的立法方式」,並強調,全民健保是台灣社會團結互助的基石,不應成為選舉攻防的籌碼,呼籲各界以健保永續為念,讓今天的長者與明天的長者,都能持續得到應有的醫療照護。
