Senators are likely to reject the Philippine Health Insurance Corp.’s (PhilHealth) request for an additional subsidy due to its reported excess funds, according to Sen. JV Ejercito. He emphasized that health funds should benefit members rather than be saved for other purposes. Ejercito, who authored the Universal Health Care Act, expressed dissatisfaction with PhilHealth’s leadership, suggesting a need for change. He also indicated plans to scrutinize the agency’s budget.
