Free elderly health insurance Zhuo Rongtai did not countersign, Li Sichuan and Huang Guochang criticized simultaneously

After the Legislative Yuan passed that the elderly health care insurance for the rich is free, Executive President Zhuo Rongtai said that he would not countersign. Some media asked the New Taipei City mayoral candidate Li Sichuan of the Kuomintang and the People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang on the 7th for their views. Li Sichuan responded that the elderly health insurance for the wealthy is not countersigned. To be honest, it affects more than 800,000 elders in New Taipei City. Opponent Su Qiaohui will meet with Zhuo Rongtai on the 7th, hoping that she can tell Zhuo Rongtai, why Zhuo Rongtai refuses the care for the elders of New Taipei City? Please ask her to ask the dean carefully and give an explanation to the 800,000 elders in New Taipei City.

Huang Guochang said that the government's policy of helping the elderly pay health insurance premiums was started by Chen Shui-bian when he was the mayor of Taipei 30 years ago. Since Chen Shui-bian first launched this policy, it has been deeply supported by the elderly. Many elderly people's health insurance premiums are borne by sandwich families with the heaviest economic pressure. Therefore, this is not only taking care of the elderly, but also slowing down the overall health of Sanming. However, in the past 30 years, we have seen that there are many counties and cities in Taiwan. Those with good financial conditions can help sandwich families take care of the elderly, but those with poor financial conditions have no way to do this. This is why Chairman Ko Wenzhe bravely proposed this policy when he ran for president in 2024, hoping to implement equal medical rights for the elderly.

After such a law was passed on the third reading by the Legislative Yuan, the counties and cities governed by the DPP, including Chiayi County and Tainan City, immediately welcomed it. There were more DPP county and mayor candidates who also proposed such political opinions. As a result, Zhuo Rongtai and President Lai Qingde chose not to countersign or announce it, which only once again nakedly demonstrated the DPP's double standards and arrogance of power.

The issue of subsidizing health care premiums for the elderly can be used by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidates for county and mayor elections as a political argument. However, the National Assembly passed the third reading to provide such assistance to the elderly and sandwich families nationwide. Lai Qingde, Zhuo Rongtai and others said no, "You can't take what I didn't give."

Huang Guochang said that Taiwan is a democratic and legal society. When did a few people become so arbitrary and authoritarian? In the face of this arrogant government, I hope everyone will stand up and vote on November 28, and use their votes to tell this arrogant and double-standard government that we have had enough!
