Taiwan's Legislative Yuan deliberates on the draft of the Special Act for Future Accounts, causing concerns over health insurance resources.

The "Legislative Yuan Environmental Protection Committee" will review the draft "Taiwan Future Account Special Ordinance" proposed by the Blue and White parties today (12th). Before the meeting, Chen Chong-liang, Minister of the "Council of Health and Welfare", told the media that the financial and resource implications of a "universal" future account are what we are concerned about. With Taiwan entering an ultra-aging society, health insurance finances, long-term care finances, and even the current discussion on expanding the "Social Assistance Act" to cover more vulnerable groups all require resources. If all these resources are placed in the future account, is it appropriate? Will it displace more urgent and important groups that need care? This is our concern, and we hope for a more careful and extensive discussion.
