Elderly people are exempted from health insurance premiums. The PCG launched a blue-and-white bill to amend the law: the national finance will create structural liabilities.

The Legislative Yuan passed the "Elderly Welfare Law" on the third reading yesterday, allowing seniors over 65 years old to be exempted from paying health insurance premiums. In order to promote the amendment of the law, the popular group even stayed at the Legislative Yuan the night before yesterday to line up proposals. In this regard, Zhang Honglin, CEO of the Citizen Oversight Congress Alliance, criticized today (17th) that the People's Party, which regards "progressive values" as its slogan, sometimes makes more exaggerated proposals than the Kuomintang. With health insurance losses, such amendments will only cause structural liabilities for the country's finances in the future.

Zhang Honglin said in an interview with this newspaper today that the Blue and White-dominated Legislative Yuan has been doing the work of the president and executive president, violating the constitutional separation of powers. It has also paralyzed national fiscal discipline by constantly proposing money-stealing bills. Just imagine that a country keeps spending money but continues to reduce its sources of income. Isn’t it clear that the country is going to collapse? The most terrifying thing about Blue and White now is that when there is no hope of returning to power, they plan to drag the country to death.

Zhang Honglin proposed that the Executive Yuan prepares a budget for "universal cash". The biggest difference is that the proposal was proposed by the president, and the premise is that there is a surplus that can be used to give back through special cases. However, the Blue and White proposal will generate "future structural liabilities." As Taiwan's population ages, not only will there be an additional 40 billion in expenditures every year, but it will also cause permanent fiscal losses. "This money pit is not a one-time event."

Zhang Honglin pointed out that National Health Insurance has always been a system that Taiwan is proud of and has been praised by the world. However, the current health insurance is already at a loss and the government must continue to provide subsidies. The blue and white amendments basically ignore the future health or life and death of Taiwanese people and will only make the hole bigger.

Zhang Honglin said that what is even more ironic is that the People's Party used to regard "progressive values" as a sign of pride and won the support of many young people. However, the People's Party's current proposals not only fail to promote fairness and justice, but are sometimes even more exaggerated than the Kuomintang. A political party that was supposed to act as a third party and speak out has now become a promoter of the worst system and a perpetrator of Taiwan's democratic system. This is also the most serious problem.

Zhang Honglin also called on Blue and White. If you lose this election, you should vote seriously next time. Don't drag Taiwan into ruin because you think you can't win. What Blue and White is doing now is not just to attack the DPP government, but to make all the people suffer together. Everyone must have this understanding, because once the National Health Insurance is destroyed, all Blue, Green, and White supporters will be affected.
