Inatasan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) na palawigin ang mga benepisyong ibinibigay nito sa mga Pilipino.Sa isang pulong, inihain ng PhilHealth ang mga short-term nitong plano, kabilang ang pagbibigay ng higit na tulong sa mga nagpapa-dialysis, bagong mga benefit package, pati na rin ang paggawa ng mobile app at text message service. Kasama sa medium-term, na mag-uumpisa sa 2024, ang pagbigay ng amnestiya para sa mga hindi nabayarang serbisyo, pag-amyenda sa Universal Healthcare Law, at pagpataw ng multa sa mga nagkamaling mga doktor at ospital. Balak din ng Philhealth na gawing mas makabago ang paglilingkod nito at magtayo ng sarili nitong gusali at pasilidad.
