MANILA - The government is ready to provide funding to ensure the survival of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp , Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Tuesday after an official of the agency

warned that the corporation could collapse in 2022 without additional subsidy.

"As author of the Universal Health Care [law], we never, even for one minute, considered that the survival of PhilHealth will solely be by reason of premiums," Roque said in a Palace press briefing. PhilHealth data protection officer Nerissa Santiago said Tuesday that the state-run insurance firm may cease to exist by 2022 due to the "double impact” of decreasing collections and increasing payouts for the hospitalization of coronavirus patients.

Roque said, by and large, the government is aware of its responsibilities to support PhilHealth financially for the implementation of the Universal Health Care Law.

Eh kala ko ba sabi ni Digong wala nang pera? Bakit mga pinambayad na premium & taxes na naman natin sasalo? Logical thing would be to force the corrupt Philhealth officials to give back the billions they pocketed. If not, gawin silang sampol nang walang tumulad.
