Health officials should stop hiding behind the law to impose its unjustifiable increased contribution rates.
PhilHealth is allegedly forced to require higher payments from members as this is a provision of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law.
Totoo ba ito? NO.

True, increased PhilHealth rates are part of the UHC Law. In fact, it is one of the controversial provisions that oppositors wanted to remove or change.
But even if the increased rates are part of the law, is govt really forced to implement it? NO.
Are there precedents? YES.

The Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (1992) states the benefits that govt healthcare workers are entitled to.
But to date, these benefits are not all given to HCWs in govt hospitals. Govt refuses to provide funds for these benefits.
So HCWs still have to fight for these.

DOH Is Not Doing Enough
The Department of Health (DOH) should be called out for its failure to take charge of the fight against Coronavirus Disease 2019 or COVID-19.

Even after announcement that it will head the enhanced community quarantine covering Luzon, the agency remained pretty much behind. Rather than be the main voice that would guide the executive branch in its actions, the Secretary instead chose to follow the Presidential caprices.
As numbers of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths have steadily increased over the last few days, the DOH has tested less than 3000 individuals so far. In a country of 110 million people, this number is extremely small.
