Regarding the policy of raising the window burden of medical expenses for people aged 75 and over to 20%, the government wants to target people with an annual income of 1.7 million yen or more, but the Komeito is demanding that it be 2.4 million yen or more.
The government wants to settle it within four days, and the government and the ruling party are rushing to make adjustments.
Regarding the burden on the counter at hospitals for the elderly aged 75 and over, the government will increase the burden on the working generation from 10% to 20% from 2022, targeting people with a certain income or higher. It is a policy to raise it.
On the 3rd, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Tamura told the Liberal Democratic Party that he would like to raise the target for people with an annual income of 1.7 million yen or more.
However, the Komeito said that the government's proposal should narrow down the range of demands for the burden, and demanded that the annual income be 2.4 million yen or more.
In addition, the timing of the increase should be after October 2022.
However, there are opinions from within the government that "it is important to reduce the future burden on the younger generation, and it is difficult to accept the demands of the Komeito as it is."
The government has decided to hurry to coordinate with the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party, hoping to settle the matter by the all-generation social security review meeting scheduled to be held tonight.
