Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero on Thursday said the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation will get zero subsidy under the 2025 national budget due to its very own lapses.As it still has P600-billion in reserve funds, Escudero said the state health insurer was not able to do its job of providing necessary health benefits to Filipinos."Dahil sa kapalpakan 'yun. Ito sana magsilbing wake up call sa kanila. Hindi man palo sa mukha na gawin nila ang trabaho nila.
Escudero said that under Universal Healthcare Law, PhilHealth has a "No Balance Billing" mandate in order to reduce patients' out-of-pocket expenses, but this was not being implemented on the ground."Hindi mahina 'yung absorptive capacity, ang tawag mo sa pagkakaroon ng reserve na P600 billion, hindi pagganap na sa kanilang trabaho na bigyan ng benepisyong pangkalusugan ng ating mga kababayan," he said.
