00:00So yun na lang ang timbangin natin, diba?
00:048 million Filipinos do not have the essential insurance
00:09to pay, to avail of basic PhilHealth benefits, diba?
00:16So, I think that's an easy decision, diba?
00:21We need to put the money where it helps more people
00:25And pwede naman din yun if we improve the PhilHealth services
00:31Pwede tayo mag-isip ng how do we fund catastrophic health expenses
00:36Kasi yun yung pinutulungan ng my people
00:38So parang, pero hindi na sila dapat magmakaawa
00:42PhilHealth should think of a way na, okay, ito ibig sabihin ng catastrophic
00:47Hindi na dapat, dapat nakikita na natin yung mga tao
00:50Sobrang nakihirap sa gastos
00:52And we need to put them in a place where they can avail of services
00:57Yun nga yung principle of no balance billing
01:00Ang no balance billing is mandated by the National Health Insurance Act
01:06So, if you are, at pinangako yan ni BBM
01:11Nung State of the Nation, diba?
01:14Pag ikaw mahirap, patakunta ka sa, ano, government hospital
01:19Or doon sa, di ba yung private hospitals
01:2310% of their beds should be for indigent patients
01:27Pag nakunta ka doon, no balance ang bilig mo
01:30That will help patients facing catastrophic expenses
01:33Pero sir, how do you think it will go about po doon sa pagta-transition
01:37Say yung 1 million, no?
01:39Sige, in a make-believe world, na-defund na nga yung my people
01:42And we direct it to PhilHealth
01:44Paano po kayo magta-transition yung yung 1 million beneficiaries ng my people
01:47So gradual reduction until it disappears
01:51Bec, I'll go back to your question with a question
01:54You said kanina na, they claimed that there were 3.3 million beneficiaries of my people
02:03And you were asking what will happen to the 2 million if only, kung binabaan siya at magiging 1 million na lang yung target beneficiaries
02:13Ang question ko, and I don't have the answer, that's why I'm asking you
02:17You might have the answer
02:18Yung 3 million na yun
02:20Kasi ay, there was this slide kanina presenting the KIN files
02:25Yung 3 million, do we have this aggregated data?
02:30How many?
02:31O 7 million
02:33House chair, Swan Singh said, indigent
02:37Yung nag-increase ko kasi sila
02:401.27 million indigent patients
02:43So, sabi niya, 1.27 of the 3 million lang ang indigent
02:51Hindi ko po sure kung per house
02:54Ang nabigyan
02:55Kasi, the question of Alan kanina was
03:00Ang question ni Alan was
03:023.3 million, that was what you said, no?
03:053.3 million ang nag-benefit from
03:08Maifif
03:10From last year
03:12From last year
03:13From last year
03:14And, but of the 3.3 million, only
03:161.27 is klarong indigent
03:20Yun ang sinabi niya, nang galing sila ng increase
03:23Sabi niya, this will benefit
03:25I'm just following the, ano
03:26Million indigent
03:27So, therefore
03:28Meron silang binigyan na 2 million na hindi indigent?
03:32Logically?
03:33Yes, so
03:34Mga in
03:35Financially
03:36Politically indigent?
03:37Financially
03:39Financially incapacitated
03:41Kasi kahit di ka mahirap
03:44Pwedeng incapacitated ka
03:46Kaya nasa
03:48But
03:49That becomes
03:50That's the part battle
03:51Kasi
03:52Paano naging
03:53Paano naging
03:54Who defines the
03:55Financial
03:56Indigency
03:57Ano yung
03:58Qualifications
03:59And
04:00It becomes very discretionary
04:02Again, going back to that slide
04:04Now if you look at it
04:05Yung poorest of the poor
04:07Yung support niya
04:08Was only 10,000
04:10But the richest
04:11Was 17,000 higher
04:15So
04:16Hindi ba siya
04:17If you just follow the logic that this is a
04:20An ayuda to the poorest of the poor
04:22Shouldn't it be baliktad?
04:24Shouldn't there be a higher support value
04:27To the poorest of the poor?
04:29And not the other way around?
04:31I mean, I have
04:33Personally, I have no issue about
04:36Maifip, no?
04:37Personally, I have been
04:38A lot of my patients
04:40Have accessed it
04:41Benefited
04:42Benefited
04:43Benefited from it
04:44Even my
04:45My family
04:46Because
04:47I was able to access
04:50Assistance
04:51When my father got diagnosed
04:52With brain
04:53Brain cancer
04:54And
04:55Laubos yung lahat ng
04:56Determint niya
04:57For that
04:58And then
04:59We had to
05:00So
05:10To
05:11To
05:23To
05:25To
05:27To
05:27To
05:29To
