HK legislators push free public health care for sacked migrant workers

Posted on No comments

By Daisy CL Mandap

There is a concerted move among Hong Kong’s legislators to get the government to extend free public medical care to foreign domestic workers, even after their employment contracts have been cut.

This is in tandem with the plan to require employers to provide private medical insurance to every domestic worker they hire or rehire.

PRESS FOR MORE SPECIAL OFFERS!

The twin moves are being pushed by the chair of the Legislative Council’s manpower panel, Fernando Cheung, who says he has the support of his colleagues from across party lines.

“I was concerned that the current policy leaves a large loophole in the medical coverage of FDWs, who by and large, covered by public health care, and in some cases, (by) private medical insurance, but once their contract is terminated, their coverage is no longer there,” he told The SUN in an interview on Apr 26.

Call now!

“We urge the government to look into the matter and change the policy immediately,” he added.

Cheung said requiring employers to purchase medical insurance for FDWs is also being pursued, but implementing this could take time as it would mean changing the standard employment contract for FDWs all over again.

Thus, he has focused more on getting public health care extended to FDWs who remain in Hong Kong despite having their visa cut.

Asked if there was a way either of these measures could be speeded up, given the high incidence of FDWs falling seriously ill while in Hong Kong, Cheung said the consulates of the Philippines and Indonesia could consider requiring medical insurance coverage for their workers.

CALL US NOW!

“I think the Consulates have the power to really make a difference here,” he said. “If both consulates require it, it practically becomes a mandate and the government will certainly go by this requirement.”

The issue of providing medical care to foreign domestic workers who remain in Hong Kong despite having their employment visa cut was tabled during the manpower panel meeting in the Legislative Council onApr 19.

Cheung’s proposal for requiring medical insurance coverage for every FDW who is hired was widely supported his fellow legislators.

“Legislators from different parties all expressed support, even those who are pro-establishment,” he said.

He added that providing medical insurance to FDWs along with employee compensation coverage would not cost much, and should not be such a burden on employers.

Cheung also said he saw no reason why the government should suddenly cut off providing for the medical needs of FDWs once they lose their jobs.

Unfortunately, he said the two government departments asked about the issue appeared to “pass the ball” to each other. Immigration reportedly said it was a matter for the Hospital Authority to decide, while the latter said they just go by the list provided them on who is entitled to public health care.

“So there is a phantom person that makes the decision, and I as legislator will have to get to the bottom of it,” he said. “We have to find out who is in charge, who is making that decision.”

Cheung said this was no way to repay FDWs “who are here to work and contribute to Hong Kong in many ways, not just economically.”

He noted the migrant workers have freed up many local women from doing housework so they could pursue their career and work.

“They (FDWs) take care of the sick, the young, the old and disabled, so I don’t see why we couldn’t extend health care to them,” said Cheung.

He also expressed concern that children born in Hong Kong of FDW mothers are also being deprived of public health care, saying this is “inhumane.”

Hong Kong cares

Posted on No comments

Just when we thought Hong Kong was heartless and uncaring towards foreign domestic workers we hear news of an effort by local officials to extend free medical care to migrants when they need it most.

This refers to recent moves by legislators led by Fernando Cheung to get the government to extend free public health care to migrant workers, even after their employment contracts have been terminated.

Call us now!

This, or require employers to purchase medical insurance for their domestic workers for the full two years of their contract.

As chair of the Legislative Council’s manpower panel, Cheung has consistently backed measures that protect lowly workers, including migrant domestic helpers. But what’s surprising in his latest initiative is the overwhelming support he says he’s getting from fellow legislators.

Call us!

Cheung says even pro-administration legislators support his move to allow migrant workers to avail of free public health care even after they get the sack.

This was the same message given earlier by his fellow pro-democracy colleague, Kenneth Leung, during a consultation meeting at the Consulate.

CALL US NOW!

Thus, Cheung says that if our Consulate follows the example of its Indonesian counterpart and require medical insurance each time a Filipino domestic worker is contracted to work in Hong Kong, it will not encounter strong opposition.

He thinks this is the quickest way to provide relief to ailing migrants, as getting the government to make this a requirement would entail the tedious process of revising the standard employment contract for FDWs all over again.

But alongside this, he promises to keep pursuing the Hong Kong government for an explanation as to why migrant workers, especially the seriously ill, are automatically cut off from free public medical care as soon as they lose their jobs.

Call us now!

He said this is a heartless policy to begin with, and results in double jeopardy when the migrant worker is kicked out when she falls desperately sick, as in the well-publicized case of Baby Jane Allas who was sacked after being diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer.

Call now!

During an initial hearing on the issue, he said the Immigration Department and the Hospital Authority both tried to place the blame at each other’s door, so nothing came out of inquiring whether such a heartless policy does exist in the first place.

He personally thinks the Labor Department is the one that should be correcting this anomaly, and promises to pursue officials there in future.

CALL US

But his message is clear: lawmakers are not so blind, or heartless, that they cannot see the immense contribution made by foreign domestic workers not only to the economy, but to the overall well-being of Hong Kong people.

Now, if only our own government would show the same concern for its people, instead of milking them dry each time more money is needed to fuel its grandiose projects…

Napansin mo ba? Kapag may balita ang The SUN tungkol sa nagaganap na botohan, marami ang nagko-komento na kesyo may nangyayaring dayaan. Mga komentong ang basehan ay puro haka-haka, at walang ebidensiya. Sa tono ng kanilang pananalita, at sa direksiyon ng kanilang akusasyon, ay matutukoy mo kung saang kampo galing ang mga ito.

Simula pa noong unang araw ng botohan—may Facebook “Live” pa sila at ipinakita ang isang kasamahan na bumoto nang labis (o nag-overvote)—pilit nilang sinisiraan ang elekyon. Paulit-ulit. Walang humpay.

Hindi na ito bago. Noong World War II, ito ang sinabi ni Joseph Goebbels, ang punong propagandista ni Hitler: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

Bakit nila ginagawa ito?

Call us!

Sa Pilipinas kasi, walang nananalo sa botohan. Ang natalo, sasabihin ay dinaya sila. Ang nanalo, sasabihin nilang nandaya. Ano ba naman kung hindi pa natatapos ang botohan ay magpakalat na ng kwentong nadaya sila, upang masabi sa huli na tama ang hinala nila dahil natalo sila.

CALL US NOW!

Pero may isa pang dahilan upang tayong lahat ay mangamba na nangyayari ito.

Call now!

Halimbawa, sa isang lugar ay may sampung botante. Tatlo sa kanila ay solido sa isang kandidato. Siyempre, hindi sapat ang kanilang hanay upang manalo, at hindi nila alam kung sino ang iboboto ng natitirang pito na kanya-kanya ang diskarte.

Call us now!

Upang sila ang manalo, kukumbinsihin nila ang taumbayan na bumoto man sila o hindi, may nandaraya at may nanalo na, kaya huwag na lang silang bumoto.

Ayon sa Konsulado, ang target ay umabot sa kalahati ng mga rehistradong botante ang mga boboto sa eleksiyong ito. Pero sinabi na nila na mahihirapang maabot ito, at masaya na sila kung umabot ito sa 28% na naitala noong 2013. Kung mangyari ito, wala pang tatlo sa bawa’t sampu ang boboto, kaya panalo na ang organisadong grupo kahit hindi sila ang mayorya. Kahit nga umabot sa 50% ang bumoto ay panalo pa rin sila sila.

CALL US

Papayag ka ba na sila ang magdikta sa gagawing desisyon ng bayan? Binigyan ang mga OFW ng isang buwan na iparinig ang ating boses. May panahon ka pa para hindi ito masayang.
