ANYARE, PHILHEALTH? Sa panayam sa programang #TedFailonAtDJChacha, sinagot ng tagapagsalita ng Philippine Health Insurance Corporation o PhilHealth na si Rey Baleña ang isyu tungkol pagtataas ng membership contribution at ang kaugnayan nito sa sobrang pondo ng ahensiya.
Petitioners insisted before the Supreme Court that it is unconstitutional to transfer P89.9 billion funds of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation or PhilHealth to the National Treasury.
In August last year, the group of Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel filed a petition which challenged the constitutionality of the fund transfers, followed by similar petitions filed by Bayan Muna and 1Sambayan.
Respondents to the petition are the House of Representatives, the Senate, PhilHealth, Department of Finance and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The petitioners insisted that it was illegal to transfer the questioned funds based on the 2024 General Appropriations Act and the Department of Finance circular no. 003 2024.
