“平均每月缴50元” 民主党献议统一保险计划

新加坡民主党建议,应舍弃现今的“3M”(健保储蓄、终身健保和保健基金)等过于复杂繁琐的医疗保险政策,改而使用统一的保险计划,让国人每月平均只需缴50元,就可获得基本的医疗保障。 该党是在上周六(5月11日),发布民主党对国家医疗计划政策的献议。党主席淡马亚和中央执委成员江伟贤在发布会上直言,现有的“3M”保险制并无法应对国人真正的医保需求。 “羊毛出在羊身上”,江伟贤称,健保储蓄也同样来自公积金会员的相互徐,也进一步侵蚀掉国人的退休金。目前,健保储蓄已累计高达880亿新元的巨额储备。 终身健保的免赔额可以高至三千元,并不能让那些手头不那么充裕的病患受惠。同时,还需要确保有足够的保健储蓄来应对终身健保的不足。 民主党也点出,政府还需要推出诸如建国一代和立国一代配套,也证明了现有的“3M”保险制度存有不足。 故此,淡马亚表示民主党建议取消”3M”,并且把保健储蓄归还到人民的公积金户头中。 至于现有复杂繁琐的保险计划,可由该党建议的“国家健康投资基金”(NHIF)取而代之。国人只需透过公积金户头,每月缴交平均50元(视收入而定),就可获得保障,这笔保费甚至低于现有的终身健保计划。 其余开销由税收承担 在该计划下,其余的医疗开支则透过政府由税收等方式来承担。民主党相信,“国家健康投资基金”足以为国人从意外至妊娠等事项提供基本保障。 淡马亚相信,这种单一收费制度有助于终结现有的复杂保险和津贴体制。 “国家健康投资基金”下,人民只需支付医院费用的10巴仙,每年顶限为两千元,其余费用则由该基金承担。保留病患和基金共同承担医疗费用,乃是强调保户的责任,减少滥用医疗资源。 而民主党献议的计划也有别于行动党政府,后者把医院视作营利机构看待,使得医院往往有盈余,远远已超过用以照护病患的开销。…
