Chapter 2491
Connor got two glasses of wine for himself and Lynch, and they chatted about it on the terrace. The surroundings were quiet, and no one would eavesdrop, and no one could eavesdrop.

Because there is also a layer of glass on the terrace!
It's said to be a terrace, but it's actually more like a sunroom.

"I've talked to people from the medical group, people from the banking and insurance industry, and they're very supportive of my reform of the health care system."

"My team has been researching this issue for more than half a year, and the current medical security is indeed out of date."

The current federal medical security system exists as a bottom branch of the social security system.

I pay a small amount of money every month, and what I enjoy is some low-cost drug services and very few free medical services.

For example, injections in designated hospitals do not require additional expenses other than medicines. If you do not participate in the insurance, you need to pay a surgical fee.

Yes, it may be a problem of understanding, or it may be a conspiracy of capitalists. In short, the injection is a "miniature surgery".

Since it is an operation, no matter it is large or small, there must be an operation fee.

This may be one of the few guarantees that can be enjoyed in the medical security under the social security system.

Lynch took a sip of the wine. Connor's wines were all very good. Not to mention that he was very rich, he would often give some wine as gifts.

For example, Lynch himself, every time he comes, he will give a bottle of wine, and it is impossible to drink a bottle of wine in one meal, so there will be a lot left for daily use.

He listened carefully, then motioned for Connor to continue.

"The current situation makes me a little confused about how to choose. Last time I listened to your suggestion and conducted a nationwide survey on medical problems."

"Less than 40.00% of the people explicitly expressed their willingness to pay more to enjoy better medical services."

"Among the remaining 60.00%, half of the people said they don't care about reform or not, and the other half said they are not optimistic about the future of reform."

Lynch sounded a bit confused, and of course Connor's expression was imprecise, "You mean at least one-third of the people agree with the reform?"

That's a much smaller number than Lynch himself thought, as at least half of the population would want better health care.

At present, the federal medical problem does not seem to be very serious, but behind this very easy problem are many people who look down on the doctor, and their helplessness, as well as their acceptance of a more cruel reality.

The current medical group does not have the habit of doing good deeds, do you want to see a doctor without money?
Go dream!

And the federal government does not provide better medical security, except for the purchase of designated medicines to enjoy the lowest price and no need for surgery fees for injections and water injections, there are no other things to enjoy.

But Lynch quickly realized that the main reason why people disagreed, or didn't care, was still in expenditure.

The cost of the current federal social security system only accounts for about 5.00% of the tax revenue, which is calculated based on Bu Pain's current basic salary of 520 yuan and three yuan.

There are about 160 to 200 yuan of tax in this money. If the middle 180 yuan is used for calculation, then in fact, the social security fee paid by each taxpayer is only about [-] yuan per month.

That’s 120 yuan a year.

It may not seem like much, but for ordinary people, especially families where only one person works but needs to feed four or five people, this is already a very heavy expense.

If this number is increased upwards, it may increase several times, and the per capita medical security expenditure will become even more unacceptable!

This does not include people who actually have income in some families, but also pay social security contributions for those who do not.

Like the kind where there are five people in a family, but only one person works.

They have to spend an extra 40 yuan every month to buy social insurance. Once the medical security benefit doubles, they may have to face dozens or even hundreds of additional expenses.

Their lives will be messed up!

But there is also good news. After the liberation of female labor force, there are more and more dual-career families in the Federation.

This is hailed as one of the most significant victories in the fight for women’s rights this century!

But in any case, it is still a small number of families who can accept this extra support.

Among the groups supporting the reform of the medical security system, the middle class and quasi-middle class almost occupy the main part!
High income means that they are willing to spend a little more to enjoy better medical security.

This problem is actually very difficult to solve. Only by increasing people's income in an all-round way can it be effectively solved, but raising people's income is not something that can be solved with a single sentence.

It has a lot at stake, and with Connor's abilities...it's a shame he's unlikely to be able to do that.

"Now my question is, it's harder to push than I thought, what do we do to push it?"

At the beginning, Connor thought that the main reason for the difficulty in pushing forward was the medical group, but after specific investigation and research, he discovered that the real problem was actually in ordinary families.

Medical groups are actually very supportive of medical reform, because no matter who pays the money, it will eventually fall into their pockets.

So they have no reason to object, and the current medical system guarantee itself has no actual benefits to the medical group.

Dispensable kind, they are definitely willing to support reform.

Lynch thought for a while and gave a suggestion, but he said this suggestion in a way of telling a story.

"There is a factory, the factory owner proposed to set up a rescue fund, and each worker contributes five yuan to this fund every month."

"When someone is injured or needs help, this money is used to help these people, and it is limited to the workers in the factory."

"Not many people agreed at the beginning, but some people agreed. After all, there are always some people who are willing to try new things."

"These people who are willing to try are included in the list of people who can be helped."

"One day, a guy's hand was smashed by a machine. According to federal regulations, he could probably get a few hundred dollars in compensation, but the money wasn't even enough for treatment."

"But because he participated in the relief fund, the relief fund covered all his medical expenses."

"So the employees of the whole factory realized the benefits of joining this fund, and they were not stingy with the five yuan."

"Accidents don't happen every day in the factory, nor do people need help every day. If the standards are a little stricter, most people's minor problems will not be included in the help list."

"If the factory has 1000 people, then the factory owner can get an extra 5000 yuan per month."

"If it has 1 people, that's 5 yuan."

"If it had 8000 million people..."

Lynch looked at Connor, pursed his lips, "This is [-] million!"

"This is actually the same as the purpose of our reform. We hope that everyone can afford medical care, even if they can't afford medical care."

"But like I said, there are actually not that many problems that happen every day, and as long as we make the rules more perfect and reduce loopholes, the factory owners will have more and more money!"

"For example, we can set the medical expenses below 100 yuan, we will not bear, or the expenses of the responsible person, we will not bear."

"Through some data analysis, we can precisely lock the problem in a special group, and this group is the backbone of social productivity!"

Connor was a little dazed, but his subconscious mind was telling him that this was a genius idea.

He shook his head and asked a question of his own, "But what if no one is willing to pay?"

Lynch pouted, "Then they will no longer enjoy medical services in the true sense."

"Connor, if you really want to do this, then we must confirm one thing."

"That is to directly make the current medical security system routine, that is, they can buy low-priced medicines and enjoy some free medical services without paying any medical security fees."

"This way we satisfy those who are not willing to reform the health care system, and whether they participate or not, it will not change the status quo."

"Then for those people who participate, we improve the services they can enjoy, such as various... When they can't see a doctor, we can bear part or even all of the medical expenses!"

"What we're trying to do is actually make a handful of people sick and share it with a whole bunch of people!"

"As for the medical group and the insurance industry, they will approve of this option, because once it is implemented, their opportunities will become more and more!"

"Those who looked down on doctors in the past would walk into the hospital, and those who were unwilling to consider commercial insurance before would also start to consider commercial insurance."

"What I'm talking about is just a general macro plan. If you want to try it, you must organize people to do further work, fill in its rules, and try it out."

Connor listened very carefully. He felt that what Lynch said was right and very meaningful.

What is meaningful is that the federal budget does not need to bear too much. In fact, the medical insurance expenses are all the people's money.

He even thought that if there is a surplus of this money, it can also contribute to the federal finances!

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about, and the person who actually operates it will not let it have a surplus, in fact!
Connor thought over Lynch's suggestions over and over again, and recorded them in his notebook. He seemed full of energy.

Lynch sat drinking and smoking, watching Connor work.

Sometimes he thinks that Connor is actually the most suitable person to be the President of the Federation, at least he is willing to try to realize his whimsy at the same time!
