立法院昨三讀通過「老人福利法」,讓65歲以上長輩免繳健保費。為推動修法,民眾黨團更不惜在前天晚上,留守立法院排隊提案。對此,公民監督國會聯盟執行長張宏林今(17日)痛批,把「進步價值」當作招牌的民眾黨,有時候提案比國民黨還誇張,在健保虧損之下,這種修法只會造成國家財政未來結構性的負債。
張宏林今日接受本報訪問表示,藍白主導的立法院一直在做總統、行政院長的工作,違背憲政權力分立的角色,也藉由不斷提錢坑法案,癱瘓國家財政紀律。試想一個國家不斷花錢,卻持續減少收入來源,不就是擺明要讓國家垮掉?藍白現在最恐怖的就是,在重返執政無望的狀況下,打算拖著國家一起死。
張宏林提出,行政院編列預算「普發現金」,最大的差別在於,該案是由總統提出的,且前提是有盈餘能用特例進行回饋,但藍白的提案將產生「未來結構性的負債」,隨著台灣人口的老化,每年不只會多400億的支出,而是永久性造成財政虧損,「這個錢坑不是一次性的」。
張宏林指出,全民健保一直是台灣引以為傲的制度,全世界也有所稱讚,但目前健保已經處於虧損的情況,政府要不斷做補貼,藍白的修法基本不顧台灣人未來的健康或死活,只會讓這個洞更大。
張宏林說,更諷刺的是,民眾黨過去常把「進步價值」當作引以為傲的招牌,獲得不少年輕人支持,但民眾黨現在的提案,不僅沒有朝向公平正義,甚至有時比國民黨還誇張。一個本該扮演第三者、說公道話的政黨,現在卻變成最糟糕制度的推動者,以及對台灣民主制度的殘害者,這也是最嚴重的問題。
張宏林也喊話藍白,這次選輸了下次就認真選,不要覺得選不上就拉著台灣一起沉淪,藍白現在做的事,不只是在打擊民進黨政府,而是讓全體人民一起受害,大家必須要有這樣的領悟,因為全民健保一旦被破壞,所有藍、綠、白支持者都會受到影響。
