[Title] => Sin taxes to fund health care
[Summary] => The government will use the proceeds of increased taxes on cigarettes and liquor to provide funding for the medical insurance coverage of low income families under the Philippine Health Insurance (PhilHealth) program, President Arroyo said yesterday.
The President said the additional revenue will be channeled to augment PhilHealth funding to benefit six million poor Filipino families.
A Palace-certified bill now pending in Congress proposes adjustments in the so-called sin taxes.
