新北市長選舉公辦電視政見發表會今(13日)登場,針對高齡化社會與《老人福利法》修法65歲以上長者免健保費爭議,民進黨新北市長候選人蘇巧慧批評立院修法粗糙,未守預算法精神;國民黨新北市長候選人李四川反擊蘇反對該法及財劃法,卻狂開社福支票,承諾「中央不做,地方一定做」。

媒體代表提問,立法院通過《老人福利法》修正案,符合所得條件的65歲以上長者健保費由中央買單,但行政院長卓榮泰不予副署,新北市有76.8萬名長者,但負債上千億元,候選人如何因應?

蘇巧慧表示,敬老卡未來可能改名為「至尊卡」,將提高到每月1000點、年度累計不歸零,能搭車也能買東西,並補助裝假牙,以「預防做在前」的公衛手段,鼓勵長輩出門、延緩老化,減輕未來健保負擔,且六大福利政見每年僅新增50億元,市府足以負擔。這段時間以來,各界已跟進她的六大福利政見,所以她的方向是正確的,未來一定會更審慎做評估規劃。

針對《老人福利法》修法,蘇巧慧認為,長輩福利應全國一致,但立法院修法未遵守《憲法》、《預算法》精神,也未與行政院討論,非常粗糙,未來只要是中央統一規劃的全國性社福,她一定站在新北立場全力爭取。

此外,蘇巧慧提出建構「零漏接的社會安全網」三大防護網:運用大數據整合水電中斷等資訊找出隱藏個案、善用《社會救助法》裁量權推動「合議審查制」,以及落實「照顧照顧者」提高社工薪資與津貼、補助進修;同時運用AI推動行政減量、整合重複評鑑,給第一線社工足夠的後盾和尊嚴,才能接住每一位長輩。

李四川指出,蘇巧慧在立法院反對長者健保補助且未投票,行政院長不副署,蘇也未發聲,質疑既然蘇主張全國一致,立院通過的法律院長為何不副署?他強調台北可以、新北長輩也應該可以,若當選市長,「中央不做,地方一定會來做」。

李四川更質疑,蘇巧慧稱很會協調中央預算,但新北市向中央申請的54.1億元捷運補助款至今未下來,同黨立委卻未協調;蘇巧慧在立法院反對能為新北增加許多經費的《財劃法》,如今卻提出敬老卡1000點可買東西,開了這麼多支票,卻未交代錢從哪裡來。

蘇輝湟說,人口老化伴隨獨居弱勢問題,但生活壓力比例上弱勢年輕人更多,他會要求主計處提出數據依比例分配資源,不敢對立院通過的法律照單全收,以免債留子孫,若預算不夠,可延緩3年或量力而為,並定期與中央開會爭取經費。
