藍白上月三讀通過「老人福利法」修正案,要求中央有條件全額補助65歲以上長者健保費,行政院今宣布「不副署」,指該修法不利經濟弱勢老人就醫、不利財政與代際正義,更是立法權侵害行政權惡例。對此,民眾黨黨團今抨擊,民進黨候選人可以提、在野黨提就不行,根本雙標。

針對行政院宣布「不副署」老福法修正案,發言人李慧芝今(6日)指出,此次修法刪除「健保部分負擔費用」及「健保不給付的醫療費用」(自費醫療)兩類補助的法源依據,影響6.6萬名中低收入老人,而這些弱勢長輩非「社會救助法」所定救助對象,僅靠「老人福利法」補助,不僅有損既有醫療保障,更恐無力負擔醫療費用而身陷困境,嚴重悖離老福法立法宗旨。

且依「憲法」第70條及「預算法」第91條精神,立法院不得提出增加政府支出的提議。而是由行政院負責提出預算,立法院依法審議。此外,該修法幾無實質排富效果,逾8成65歲長者皆能免健保費,每年新增經費約400億元,但公共資源有限,應優先照顧最有需要的經濟弱勢族群,而非採取普遍性補助,此舉將加重世代間的經濟壓力,有違代際正義。

對此,民眾黨黨團總召、立委陳清龍回應,補助長者健保費連民進黨現任縣市長、縣市長候選人都支持,更當作競選政見及選舉支票;但賴總統、行政院長卓榮泰卻再次不公布、不副署,不僅打臉自己人,更將長者福利當政治籌碼,反問綠營縣市長候選人是否同意這做法?

陳清龍批評,賴清德總統日前也公開肯定民進黨籍屏東縣長補助長者健保費,現在修法要統一補助,卻反而不肯執行。難道執政黨做就是德政,在野黨做就是違憲?怎麼會如此雙標?還是民進黨根本沒把長者的照顧放在心上,只會兩面手法、從頭到尾都在騙票?

  • 立法院後續是否會對行政院不副署採取憲政反制措施?
