藍白立委日前強行通過「老人福利法」第22條修正案,引發外界對弱勢長者醫療補助法源遭刪除的爭議。

Font size

藍白立委日前強行通過「老福法」第22條修正案,更被抓出修法瑕疵,刪除要求地方政府提供弱勢長者「部分負擔費用」、「健保給付以外費用」補助的法源,今日藍白稱有「社會救助法」等可持續補助弱勢長者,但衛福部社會及家庭署(簡稱社家署)署長周道君強調,「社救法」無法涵蓋所有原本受「老福法」補助的弱勢長者,未來若地方不願意持續補助,恐影響弱勢長者的假牙、人工水晶體等補助。

對於相關指控,民眾黨稱「社會救助法」第18條、第20條有對全國弱勢「健保部分負擔」及「健保給付未涵蓋醫療費用」提供補助,「老人參加全民健康保險無力負擔費用補助辦法」第4條、第5條也要求「各地方政府訂定補助辦法」提供弱勢長者「健保部分負擔」及「健保未涵蓋之自費醫療費用」補助。

「哪有授權辦法可以在母法沒有規範的情況下作用!」周道君指出,「老人參加全民健康保險無力負擔費用補助辦法」是在現行「老人福利法」第22條規範下所訂定的授權辦法,16日三讀通過的修正條文中,要求地方補助的文字遭刪除後,授權辦法即失去母法依據,未來三讀條文一旦生效,藍白所引述的條文也將失去作用。

此外,周道君指出,「老人參加全民健康保險無力負擔費用補助辦法」補助對象包含低收入戶老人及中低收入老人,其中包括,領取中低收入老人生活津貼者,即「最低生活費2.5倍以下」者,而「社會救助法」醫療補助對象為低收入戶及中低收入戶,即「最低生活費1.5倍以下者」,兩者所涵括的範圍不盡相同,無法由「社會救助法」全數涵蓋。

周道君也提到,由於「老福法」第22條中,要求地方提供弱勢長者「健保給付以外費用」相關文字遭刪除,未來如假牙補助及其他涉及健保差額負擔的醫療項目都可能受影響,比如白內障手術使用的人工水晶體、心肌梗塞患者的心臟支架等,但實際影響項目與範圍,需視各項補助規定而定。

周道君並強調,「老福法」修法最核心的問題仍是該不該擴大到所有65歲以上長輩的健保費都由政府支付,而審查過程中其他文字遭到刪除,不論藍白委員如何引述其他法規條文,重點是相關文字在「老福法」中刪掉就是刪掉了,後續衍生出的周邊事項與衝擊、現有法規能否補上,衛福部還在盤點中。

Open Questions

  • 未來各地方政府是否會自籌經費繼續補助弱勢長者?
  • 衛福部最終盤點的實際影響項目與範圍為何?

The Chinese Communist Party’s official media has been suppressing Tsai Kangyong for days. Scholars exposed the “black suit” who supported Chiang Wanan and ended up

Well-known host Tsai Kang-yong has been criticized by China's Taiwan Affairs Office and the Chinese Communist Party's official media for days after appearing at the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's presidential campaign. Scholar Hong Puzhao pointed out that even if Tsai Kangyong predicts that he will wear a black suit to attend the opening of Chiang Kai-shek's campaign headquarters, it will not change China's political characterization of him, and calls on Taiwanese society not to compromise with China's political censorship.
