In response to an aging society, opposition parties propose subsidizing elderly healthcare to lessen the burden on young people, but experts argue that this could actually increase the burden on the younger generation if healthcare finances fall short. Concerns arise over the possibility of future premium hikes for young people if healthcare faces financial challenges due to the elderly being subsidized.

The proposal raises issues of financial sustainability and fairness, with potential implications for both the government and the public.
