PhilHealth earlier issued a circular increasing the premium contribution of OFWs whose monthly income is between P10,000 to P60,000 to 3 percent from a previous rate of 2.75 percent.
“Dapat magkaroon ng sapat na konsultasyon sa kanila. Dapat may kinatawan sa bawat uri ng overseas work kasi hindi naman pare-pareho ang sitwasyon nila. At dapat isama sila sa pag-dedesisyon ng panukalang ito,” she said.Hontiveros also called for the convening of the oversight committee on the Universal Healthcare Law.
“This should not stop us from pursuing better implementation of this landmark law. These are birth pains that need to be addressed to benefit everybody,” she added.
