Why It Matters

台灣已進入超高齡社會,少子化導致繳納保費的勞動人口急劇減少,而醫療需求龐大的長輩人口快速增加。民進黨宣布農曆年前普發現金1萬元,國民黨隨即提案加倍至2萬元,並力拚選舉前完成三讀。藍白兩黨接連推出涉及掏空國庫、排擠其他核心施政預算的「錢坑法案」。

民進黨宣布農曆年前普發現金1萬元,國民黨隨即提案加倍至2萬元,且力拚選舉前完成三讀。藍白兩黨挾人數優勢,接連推出涉及掏空國庫、排擠其他核心施政預算的「錢坑法案」。繼通過年滿65歲以上、綜合所得稅率未達20%的長者,健保費由中央全額補助之後,接著又計畫推「6歲以下幼兒免健保費」,引發社會高度議論!

台灣已進入超高齡社會,少子化導致繳納保費的勞動力人口急劇減少,而醫療需求龐大的長輩人口卻快速增加。普發現金加倍或特定族群免交健保費,在稅收超徵、經濟繁榮時皆大歡喜。但天有不測風雲,誰敢保證景氣不會反轉、股市永遠在高點、稅收可以持續超收!

年底選戰升溫,藍白兩黨提案明訂補助所得稅率未達20%的65歲以上長者健保費全免。(資料照)

好天愛存雨來糧,「好天」風調雨順時可以靠超徵稅收支撐,一旦遇到「雨天」景氣反轉,問題就來了。在野黨只管監督制衡,無需考量財政缺口、各方預算的均衡,更重要的是超高齡社會的龐大支出。老人的醫療開支是青壯年的數倍,全民健保必須依賴勞動人口繳納的保費支付。如果特定族群又免繳健保費,如此擴張性的支出,勢必加速健保財政惡化,調高健保費勢在必行,所有風險轉嫁給在生產線上努力營生的青壯族群,造成世代正義不公平。

Free Lectures" Tainan Railway Underground becomes a model for government urban governance

The first phase of the underground railway in Tainan was opened to traffic on October 17. The project was approved in 2009 and was completed after nearly 10 years of struggle and 17 years of construction. The author Chen Mingdao recalled that when Lai Qingde was the mayor of Tainan, he promoted projects and provided caring housing resettlement. City government data shows that the average subscription price of project housing in 2017 was 105,000 yuan per square meter. He emphasized that resettlement policies should clearly explain the price and application conditions to avoid confusion.

Two different emotions during the mid-term exams in the United States and Taiwan. Wu Jingyi: What makes Taiwanese people anxious is the Blue and White opposition parties

Media person Wu Jingyi analyzed that American voters use their votes to check the uneasy ruling authority, but what the Taiwanese people are worried about is not the ruling party, but the Blue and White opposition party that controls the majority of seats in the Legislative Yuan.

Indiscriminate tariffs come back! Trump was lame in advance, and foreigners pointed out fatal injuries: being friendly to authoritarianism and treating allies harshly

The results of the U.S. midterm elections showed that the Democratic Party took control of the House and Senate, and President Trump suffered a heavy setback. According to analysis by foreigners, the impact of comprehensive indiscriminate tariffs on commodity prices, harsh treatment of allies and friendly authoritarianism have caused diplomatic imbalances, which are the two fatal wounds for the ruling party to lose the trust of voters. In contrast, Taiwan has firmly adhered to the alliance line, defeated the cognitive war of "scepticism about the United States", and achieved rapid economic growth and social stability, which is highly recognized by the Chinese people.

The official account of SAIC Audi posted a tweet "Buy one, get one free for all AUDI series". When consumers clicked on the tweet, they found that the gift was a car model and was limited to two models, triggering a misleading advertising controversy. The Shanghai Jiading District Market Supervision Bureau has opened a case for investigation. The State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice in March 2026 to specifically crack down on "misleading large and small print" advertisements, which may be deemed false advertising if the circumstances are serious.

Sanitation workers wearing electronic badges sparked heated debate. What are netizens worried about?

Sanitation workers in Huadu District, Guangzhou began to wear smart electronic work badges, which attracted public attention. The management said that the badge only has a positioning function, does not have audio or video recording, and does not infringe on privacy. The public is worried that real-time positioning data will be used to over-assess, limit rest, and even deduct wages, and that technical supervision may become "electronic supervision" of workers. The article calls for technology to serve people, and smart badges should clarify the boundaries of data use and take into account management efficiency and labor dignity.
