朴 복지공약 사실상 후퇴.... 이유는?
박근혜 대통령 당선인이 지난해 야심 차게 발표했던 핵심 복지공약들이 재정확보의 문제점을 드러내며 일부 후퇴하거나 수정되어 비난을 사고 있다.대통령직인수위원회가 21일 발표한 국정과제에는 당선인의 초기 공약과는 달리, 기초연금을 차등 지급하기로 했으며 4대 중증 질환의 상급 병실료-선택진료비-간병비 국가지급이 제외되어있다.인수위는 당선인의 복지 정책이 한국 사회의 복지 수준을 끌어올릴 것이라고 다짐했지만, 선거 당시 전 국민대상으로 보편적 복지 정책을 줄 것인 양 공약을 내걸었다가 일보 후퇴하는 것 아니냐는 비난이 일고 있다.인수위는 기존의 기초노령연금을 기초연금으로 바꾸고 국민연금을 통합해 65세 이상 노인들에게 “국민행복연금”으로 지급하겠다고 밝혔다. 기초연금은 소득수준과 국민연금가입여부에 따라 차등 지급되는데, 이는 65세의 모든 국민들에게 월20만원을 지급하겠다는 당선인의 공약과 크게 엇갈린다.인수위에 따르면 소득 하위 70%에 속하고 국민연금을 받지 못하는 사람은 20만원을
