Is the Blue and White practice named after "giving out the package"? From the old Fu method to the financial planning method, taking stock of the three major overturns in the opposition

The Blue and White Legislators revised the financial planning law three times within a year, and problems such as errors in mathematical formulas and missing implementation dates were revealed. Recently, the third reading was forced to amend Article 22 of the Elderly Welfare Law, which deleted the legal source of partial payment of expenses for vulnerable elders and subsidy for expenses other than health insurance benefits, and only retained the full subsidy for health insurance premiums. This triggered criticism from Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Chuyin, who pointed out that medical subsidies for low-income and low-middle-income elders would lose their legal basis.

Will you cause big trouble by forcefully pushing Laofu to practice the law? Kuomintang League: Elderly health insurance subsidies will not crowd out the disadvantaged

Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, responded to the controversy over the Blue and White Legislators’ amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law to delete some of the costs borne by disadvantaged elders and other legal sources of subsidies. He pointed out that medical security for disadvantaged groups not only relies on the Elderly Welfare Law, but also has independent legal basis from the National Health Insurance Law, Social Assistance Law and local systems. Approved administrative benefits cannot be canceled arbitrarily. The purpose of amending the law is to increase the responsibility for health insurance subsidy to the central government to eliminate regional disparities, rather than weakening medical care for disadvantaged elders.
