No to Philhealth premium Increase! Scrap Circular No.022!
The Petition
The Philippine Health
Insurance Corporation or Philhealth Board recently issued Circular No.022
imposing a 150% hike in health premiums of OFWs from the current P900 to become
P2,400.
The hike in OFWs health
insurance premium will not only bleed us (OFWs and dependents) dry, it also sucks
out our blood leading ‘to death due to deprivation of free and affordable social
services’. The government through various agencies is killing us so softly by
imposing additional fees in pretense of better social services.
By all legal and
extra-legal means allowed by law, We, OFW
s and dependents, must support the
campaign against Philhealth premium hike, and expose and oppose this ‘unhealthy
money-making scheme’ by the Philhealth.
We kick off this
signature drive, on paper and on-line, to gather the support of as many OFWs and
their families.
We are targeting 1-M
signature by July 2012, the supposed start of imposing Philhealth premium of
P2,400 from the current P900. With our position paper, we will send the
signatures to Pres. Aquino and to the Philhealth Board members, members of the
Senate and House of Representatives.
We appeal to all our
fellow OFWs, their dependents, friends and OFW advocates to join us in our
campaign by signing this petition and help pass it on to others and urge them
to do the same.
No to Philhealth
insurance premium hike!
