On the SC Petition vs the P89.9B Realigned PhilHealth ‘Excess’ Funds
I hope the SC petition vs the realigned P89.9B PhilHealth “excess” funds has emphasized to assail the congressional insertion in the Special Provision under the Unprogrammed Fund of the GAA, thus amending RA 7875 (Health Insurance Act) a Special Law as amended by RA 10606, further amended by the UHC Law (RA 11223).
Every lawmaker knows that the Special Law must be taken as intended to constitute an exception to, or a qualification of, the general act like the GAA.
Needless to say, a general law cannot amend a special law.

On Diverting PhilHealth’s “Unutilized” P89.9B Gov’t Subsidy
Diverting PhilHealth’s “unutilized” P89.9B government subsidy to the Unprogrammed Fund in violation of the Universal Healthcare Act (and maybe the GAA itself) may create some serious security problems than we can imagine.

Ping sa PhilHealth: Ipagpaliban Muna Ang Pagtaas ng Premium
Nanawagan si independent presidential aspirant Sen. Ping Lacson sa Philhealth na pansamantalang ipagpaliban ang napipintong pagtaas ng kanilang premium sa Hunyo para makahinga sa dagdag gastusin ang mga miyembro na lubhang naapektuhan ng pandemya.
Bagama’t pinahihintulutan ang PhilHealth na itaas ang kanilang premium sa ilalim ng Universal Health Care Act, hindi aniya napapanahon para gawin ito.
“It is within the provisions of the Universal Health Care Act to increase, although it may not be advisable at this point in time because we are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic. Baka hindi timely,” ani Lacson sa isinagawang presscon sa Cagayan de Oro City nitong Huwebes ng hapon.
