[Reporter Cai Wenju/Tainan Report] DPP Tainan City Councilors Cai Xiaowei, Zhou Jiawei, and Li Zonghan are fighting for health insurance subsidies for the elderly. Elderly benefits.

They also pointed out that the Information Office and the Tourism Bureau should be consolidated. It is estimated that 50 million to 100 million yuan can be saved a year, and the saved funds can be used to subsidize the gap in the health insurance costs of the elderly.

Li Zonghan said that the central fiscal planning law is very unfair to Tainan. For example, Taipei's public construction has been completed, and more funds can be used for social welfare. On the other hand, Tainan has a large area and many public constructions are yet to be completed.

After Lai Qingde took office as mayor, he had strict requirements on financial discipline, so he laid a stable foundation. Mayor Huang Weizhe reduced expenditure by more than 20 billion in the four years since he took office.

It is suggested that the city government should evaluate the feasibility of the elderly health insurance fee as soon as possible, and realize that Tainan will become an age-friendly and warm city.
