毕丹星指出我国现有的医疗系统不够灵活,且很多医疗援助配套都没有保护到年长者,否则就是申请条例太苛刻,没有维护到这些无稳定收入银发一族的利益和尊严。

工人党秘书长兼阿裕尼集选区候选人毕丹星在网上直播中,分享一名七旬阿裕尼居民,大卫(David)所面对的医疗费课题。大卫因中风而住院,选择了C级病房,住院费约4000元,扣除了政府补贴和保健储蓄户头,他还要自掏腰包还上数百元医药费。因此,他很纳闷,为什么他的终身健保没有“帮忙付费”,甚至不能共用保健储蓄虎头的余额来支付数百元医药费。

毕丹星指出,虽然大部分医药费已经由政府支付,但是剩余项目价格也需要500元左右,对于退休人士却仍在工作的年长者而言,这是一笔巨额。他补充,灵活保健储蓄户头虽然允许60岁或以上人民,提款200元以下,以缴付门诊治疗费,但是这远远不够。

他希望卫生部能够为这些年长者们,做出更多。该党在不直接影响财政的前提下,提出了很多改革建议,希望能够更具体地缓解和减轻我国乐龄人士的焦虑,更希望执政者在制定政策时,能够设身处地得为他们着想,而不是闭门造车。
