在最高法院裁定将资金转入国库违宪后，参议员们对菲律宾健康保险公司（PhilHealth）收回600亿比索超额资金表示欢迎。
参议员们昨日对菲律宾健康保险公司（PhilHealth）在最高法院裁定将其资金转入国库的行为违宪后，收回600亿比索“超额资金”表示欢迎。
参议员皮娅·卡耶塔诺（Pia Cayetano）称此举是“健康事业和菲律宾人民的胜利”，并表示国家保险公司的资金应被用于承担贫困患者的自费开支，而不是被扣留在国库中。卡耶塔诺说：“PhilHealth必须确保这些资金严格按照法律使用，以解决我们人民紧迫的健康需求。”
《全民健康保障法》的起草人之一、参议员JV·埃赫西托（JV Ejercito）表示，最高法院的命令应提醒人们，医疗保健资金只能用于其既定用途。参议员罗伦·勒加达（Loren Legarda）指出，与政府未使用的2203.9亿比索医疗资金（其中包括1134.4亿比索的烟酒税收入）相比，这些超额资金数额较小。
