Senator Rujiphab Meekusol visited Thai-Cambodian border villages to reassure residents that the 30-baht Gold Card healthcare scheme will not be canceled, dismissing circulating rumors as misinformation.
Senator Rujiphab Meekusol from Surin Province, accompanied by his team, visited villages along the Thai-Cambodian border in Kab Choeng District, Surin Province on April 26 to meet with residents and listen to their concerns following four months of border clashes that have now subsided but remain fragile and unresolved.
Meekusol addressed widespread concerns among residents about rumors circulating in recent weeks claiming the Senate was preparing to eliminate the 30-baht Gold Card medical benefits program. He reassured the public that the Senate has never considered canceling the scheme and aims only to improve it. He emphasized that this program significantly impacts grassroots communities and stressed that there is no possibility of its abolition.
Addressing the nation, Meekusol cautioned against the rapid spread of misinformation in the digital age, urging the public to think carefully and verify information before sharing or believing news. He stressed the importance of distinguishing between authentic news and fake news, confirming that such reports about canceling the program are false and represent a distortion of facts.
