立法院三讀通過《老人福利法》修正案,所得稅率低於20%的65歲以上長者免繳健保費,行政院長卓榮泰決定不副署。國民黨新北市長候選人李四川陣營質疑,民進黨新北市長候選人蘇巧慧不為市民爭取公道,還邀請卓榮泰站台,根本是「選舉擺優先、長者踢一邊」。蘇回應,強行通過預算不但違反憲法精神,也排擠既有預算和施政。

蘇巧慧今天上午出席坪林後援會成立大會,針對卓榮泰不副署長者免健保費法案,遭李四川競選辦公室質疑是民進黨黨意立委,蘇受訪表示,長輩的健保費是不是屬於社會福利,在醫界、社會都有很多討論。

蘇巧慧指出,立法院要編列預算,應該經過與行政部門討論,才符合憲法的精神,如果現在強行通過,不但違反憲法精神,也排擠既有預算和施政措施,並不是國家長治久安的方式,希望所有預算編列、討論,能夠回歸憲法、預算法的精神。

Blue and White push 4 major vote-buying bills to cost 600 billion a year! Guo Yuqing bombarded: Debts leave descendants, where do we get our financial resources?

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Guo Yuqing called on the opposition parties to face Taiwan's young people and explain that the four major bills promoted by the Legislative Yuan, including exempting people over 65 years old from health insurance and universal cash deposits of NT$20,000, require about 600 billion yuan in annual expenditures. He also criticized that this move will crowd out key construction such as water control and long-term care, and the cost will be borne by the younger generation.

Xiao Lan’s party membership was revoked and he launched a counterattack! Shangguan Qiuyan: "Support Zheng Chaofang" Zhudong will be better

DPP Hsinchu County Magistrate candidate Zheng Chaofang went to Zhudong Market to sweep the streets on the morning of the 8th. By chance, he met Shangguan Qiuyan, the Zhudong Wufeng constituency candidate who was recently recommended by the Kuomintang Hsinchu County Party Headquarters to revoke his 43-year party membership. Shangguan Qiuyan took over the microphone on the spot and shouted with high spirits, "Support Zheng Chaofang, Zhudong will be better", and praised Zheng Chaofang as a chivalrous woman of justice in Zhudong and the bravest partner. Zheng Chaofang warmly hugged and expressed his gratitude, and there were constant sounds of "frozen garlic" at the scene. Shangguan Qiuyan said in an interview that at the last moment of the election campaign, everyone’s hopes and expectations were pinned on Zheng Chaofang. Zhudong absolutely needs a good county magistrate if he wants to make progress. She also praised Guo Yuanzhang, the non-party mayor of Zhudong who is seeking re-election, as a "very honest person" with great ideas. Everyone worked together to upgrade Zhudong to a city. Zheng Chaofang showed his high popularity in the market, shaking hands with vendors and buyers one by one along the way, calling on everyone to continue to give the warmest support, work hard together, and make Zhudong and Hsinchu County better together.
