立法院近期三讀通過老人福利法修正案,預計將大幅增加政府財政支出。行政院主張地方政府福利政策應在不舉債前提下進行,並強調預算編列的憲政分際。
總統賴清德今(17日)為屏東縣長周春米競選站台,肯定周春米規劃65歲以上長者免健保費,卻遭民眾黨主席黃國昌、台北市長蔣萬安質疑雙標。對此,行政院發言人李慧芝表示,很遺憾賴總統的說法被斷章取義,重點在於屏東縣府推動福利卻沒舉債。
李慧芝說,還原總統談話,先是細數周春米兒童營養金、生生有鮮乳、65歲以上免健保費等福利政策後,還沒有舉債。而這也是中央政府一貫的三原則立場:不舉債、不排擠其他政策、合法合憲。
李慧芝指出,屏東縣案例正是證明,地方政府在財政有餘裕,並不排擠其他施政下,堅守財政紀律,行使行政權的職權。但立法院昨天三讀通過的「老人福利法」,一年即增加近400億元,到2049年則將超過628億元;伴隨著超高齡化社會來臨,若缺乏整體財政考量,勢將衝擊財政紀律、排擠其他施政計畫。
李慧芝強調,中央、地方應分工合作,照顧長者也要落實世代正義。中央建構長者醫療系統及長照制度,地方則依財政能力與在地需求,因地制宜擴大照顧。藉此才能實踐量能付費、互助互利、風險分擔的健保制度永續。
李慧芝指出,行政、立法應有憲政分際。憲法明訂行政院編列預算、立法院審議預算;且憲法第70條規定,立法院對於行政院所提預算案,不得為增加支出之提議。同時,預算法第91條也規定,立法委員所提法律案大幅增加歲出或減少歲入者,應先徵詢行政院之意見。地方政府對長者福利的加碼,也是由縣市政府編列預算,交由縣市議會審議。地方如此,中央也應守法守憲。

On the voting day of the 9-in-1 general election, there were many large-scale concerts held in Taipei and Taichung. Netizens questioned that this move may be influenced by Chinese capital and are intended to reduce the willingness of young people to return to their hometowns to vote, and called on the public to complete voting before participating in the event to avoid missing out on the opportunity to exercise their civil rights.

A TVBS poll showed that 41% of the public favored Shen Boyang's performance in the Taipei mayoral debate, which was better than Chiang Wanan's 30%.
