媒體報導,立法院日前三讀通過「老人福利法」,行政院決定是否副署前夕,媒體版面冒出多篇反對修法的文章,幕後推手即為石崇良。報導指出,石崇良在美國出差期間,不忘操縱國內對於「老人福利法」修法的輿論,親自傳簡訊給超過10個醫事與社福團體,期盼他們對外發聲,引起團體人士反感。
立法院今日召開院會邀請行政院長卓榮泰施政報告並備質詢,石崇良列席。石崇良會前受訪表示,「老人福利法」的修法有嚴重瑕疵,不僅刪除部分醫療補助,也違反健保的基本架構,包括互助互利、量能付費跟世代公平的精神,所以他要再次呼籲,希望能有更多討論,不要倉促推動修法。
至於傳出曾透過訊息要求社福團體表達反對修「老人福利法」,石崇良說,「面對這樣嚴重的修法瑕疵,如果我默不作聲,我相信這才是嚴重的失職。」

Party caucus chief Chen Qinglong and legislator Qiu Huizhen emphasized that if the DPP is eager to amend the law, it should support placing the bill as the first bill in the chamber, and stop using "three obstructions" to find excuses to boycott the law. Qiu Huizhen also questioned Lai Qingde for forgetting the "principle of the rule of law" and pointed out that the Executive Yuan only sent the supplementary budget to the Legislative Yuan in September, and the government confused the two.
