Maximum health insurance amount to go up in August

This has been in the news awhile but I dont think anyone has posted about it yet.

If you go down to the middle of the article it will explain how much more people will have to pay who are using 高額療養費制度

you will have to pay possible anywhere from 900 yen to 40,000 more yen per month when this goes in affect in august. However the news is saying they may change this for people with long term illness, but nothing is set in stone yet.

If you go on yahoo news and read the comments almost everyone is blaming foreigners for the rise in healthcare costs and the most upvoted comments are ones that say only people with Japanese citizenship should receive 高額療養費制度 or that foreigners(even ones living here) should pay full price for health care.

I wonder if Japanese people realize we pay health insurance just like they do? Hopefully a populist will never win election here or us foreigners might not get health insurance.
