Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has defended the Thais Help Thais Plus co-payment scheme, rejecting claims that it shifts financial burdens onto citizens and saying it is helping stimulate spending, support businesses and strengthen the economy.
Speaking after launching a publicity campaign for the programme with food delivery platforms at Government House on Monday, Mr Anutin thanked participating agencies and private-sector partners, including LINE MAN, GrabFood and ShopeeFood, for helping expand access to the scheme.
