PhilHealth faces potential P20B loss if minimum wage earners' premium rates are removed.

PhilHealth faces potential loss of P20 billion if minimum wage earners' premium rates are removed. PhilHealth President Emmanuel Ledesma raised this concern, stating the estimated loss if minimum wage earners were no longer required to pay the premium rate. The review of PhilHealth premium hikes is ongoing, and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants to ensure any increase in premium will substantially benefit members.
