参议院委员会批准将MAIFIP制度化法案,尽管有逐步淘汰呼声

在数十个卫生团体最近呼吁逐步淘汰备受争议的贫困和经济困难患者医疗援助(MAIFIP)计划后,参议院委员会批准了一项法案,将其作为全民医疗保健(UHC)体系的永久组成部分——尽管批评者将其称为议员的“医疗猪肉”。参议院法案第1593号整合了四项提案,已在委员会层面获得批准,等待全体辩论。

菲律宾马尼拉的参议院卫生、社会正义和财政委员会已批准参议院法案第1593号,即《全民医疗保健医疗援助计划法》。这项替代法案旨在将MAIFIP整合为UHC体系的常规组成部分,并获得年度国家预算资金。

此举发生在2026年预算辩论期间,不久前68个卫生专业团体敦促增加PhilHealth资金并逐步淘汰MAIFIP,此前卫生部长Teodoro Herbosa拒绝将其510亿比索拨款重新定向。尽管72个医疗和卫生协会反对并寻求废除该计划,国会仍为2026年的MAIFIP拨款516亿比索,超过行政部门的242亿比索提案。

拟议的全民医疗保健医疗援助计划(UHC MAP)针对贫困患者和面临严重、长期或灾难性疾病的经济困难患者——即使在耗尽PhilHealth或其他保障后。受益人需要议员的“担保函”和卫生设施注册社会工作者资格认证。

该法案建立UHC医疗援助计划信托基金,由卫生部(DOH)管理,并由审计委员会(COA)审计,并为被拒申请人提供上诉程序。
