Hi, I just want to ask about the dependents. Do they need to be registered to the PHilhealth when the UHCL will start or they will still stayed as a dependent? For the Out of School youth, do they need to pay because they don't have any jobs or money? Like for example my brother in law he doesn't have any work and just stayed in our house, does he need to pay for the monthly dues? I just want to add. I hope the law must also include Chiropractor, and Natural Medicine so that people have their own choices. Regards, Jebb
