Chapter 267 Masks and Escapism
When the sound of the music in the hall started to decrease, the people forming circles around stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the core of the crowd.

Some people who were resting in the VIP room also changed into clothes suitable for the next reception and reappeared in front of the people, including the Wardricks.

Mr. Wardrick smiled at Lynch in a friendly manner, and waved his hand. There was no arrogance in him at all, and he was a very approachable person.

But if you really think this is the truth, then the truth will definitely surprise people.

Today's celebration is not so much a celebration of Mr. President's successful ascension to the highest stage of power in the Federation, but a potential... trade fair?

Those present are all the supporters of Mr. President, as their support for Mr. President over the past few years, and if Mr. President wants to get these people to continue to support him in the general election, then he must clearly tell these supporters, What can they get from Mr. President because of the support they have given Mr. President in various aspects.

In layman's terms, it is these people who contribute money and effort, and what kind of return they will get if they continue to contribute money and effort.

This is the characteristic of Baylor Federation. Everything is clearly marked, and everything that has been paid will definitely be rewarded!
People still don't believe it's true, but it's true.

It was only at this time that Lynch noticed that some people hadn't appeared in front of people before, but now they appeared, including the executive director of the largest medical group in the Federation.

Since dental-related medical groups have encouraged the public to believe that it is their responsibility to separate dental insurance from Social Security, larger medical groups are doing the same thing.

For this reason, they also set up a very large professional public relations team, trying to convince people from all walks of life to believe their bullshit claims - pay more expensive medical insurance, enjoy better medical services and protection!
On the one hand, the purpose of doing this is to get rid of the supervision from government agencies. After all, part of the medical expenses are paid by the federal government. In order to ensure that every penny they pay to the medical group is worthwhile and appropriate, they will Will stare at every single medical item.

They will also specify the usage specifications of some medicines. The most common example, such as influenza, which is not a big or small problem, the government will tell the public that there is no difference in essence between 39 cents, [-] cents and [-] cents. , At the same time, it will also tell the public that only [-]% of the drugs are included in the social security project.

If the doctor prescribes medicines at other prices, the citizens themselves will bear the full cost.

This also makes many people, no, it should be the vast majority of people who must use the drugs designated by the federal government if they want the federal government to help them bear part of their medical expenses.

This is actually very inconsistent with the interests of the medical group. The difference in ingredients between 39 cents, [-] cents, and [-] cents is not that big, but the difference in profit is dozens of times or hundreds of times.

They prefer people to use medicines that cost [-] cents instead of [-] cents, and they don't want the government to keep an eye on them all the time.

Then the easiest way is to separate the people's medical insurance from social insurance, just like what dentists do, as long as the government does not need to pay for the people's medical expenses, then the government has no reason to continue to supervise every medical treatment Services and orders are the responsibility of the insurance company.

This also means that some people need to pay hundreds or thousands of times more for diseases that can be cured by cheap medicines.

Even if the medical insurance group will bear even 50.00% of the cost, their profit is still more than [-] times!
For this reason, these medical groups are still advocating the disadvantages of "cheap medical care" on TV and newspapers. They also use some social celebrities as examples to tell the public what kind of treatment services these rich people receive, and what kind of treatment they receive. What kind of treatment services.

They also say things like life equality to make people think that they too deserve better, healthier, more reliable treatment services, not "cheap treatment".

On the other hand, the increasingly greedy medical groups are no longer satisfied with the idea of ​​only eating one side. They have formed some companies specializing in medical insurance, intending to eat up the insurance cost as well.

Everyone knows that medical insurance must be paid, and no one knows when they will encounter some troubles, but not everyone will get sick every year, which means that at least hundreds of millions of insurance costs will sink to the bottom every year.

If only the money could fit in my own pocket...

When seeing these people, Lynch suddenly felt that compared to them, he was still too kind, and even soft-hearted!

These people are really eating people, and the entire upper class understands this, but no one says it, including the federal government itself.

Because they are also very clear that if the people are willing to pay for medical insurance by themselves, the medical group will bear this part of the expenses, which will undoubtedly save a lot of money for the federal government.

As for whether these patients who have paid higher fees and received higher treatment costs can finally get their satisfactory results, that is another matter.

Everyone is silent. In the face of huge interests, everyone is almost the same, including the "president who tells the truth" who is affectionately called by people, and he is the same!
In addition to the people from the medical group, representatives of some well-known chemical companies also appeared on the sidelines.

The chemical industry is also a hard-hit area, and is also facing many troubles and legal disputes, so they hope to solve these problems from top to bottom.

To do this, the best way is to find a politician to support him in the election, and then send him to the throne of the president. At that time, he will naturally provide enough convenience for the chemical group.

The music in the hall finally stopped, and Mr. President stood in the middle of the crowd. He needed to say something for the reception tonight to express the attitude he should have.

After looking around, after a moment of silence, he said a word with some seriousness, "Thank you!"

"I want to thank everyone for coming here, and I also want to thank everyone for supporting me over the past few years!" His voice gradually increased, and only his voice could be heard in the quiet hall.

"Although we lost the election in the last election, but...", some smiles appeared on his face, "We are lucky!"

People laughed kindly at his self-deprecation. In interpersonal communication, being good at self-deprecating and humorous is of great help to the communication between people.

The laughter stopped after a short while, and Mr. President continued, "During this time, I have been thinking, now that I am the President, people will not think about how to leave me a good name before addressing me. Next some decent..."

People smiled kindly again, and the atmosphere at the scene was very good. It seemed that every big shot was a master at adjusting the atmosphere.

"Now that I'm president, I have to do something that a president can do."

"We all know that the current situation in the Federation is not optimistic, and we should put aside our blind optimism and face up to some problems."

"If you have noticed my previous speech, you will find a very special point of view, that is, we should assume more international responsibilities in the international community, and this sentence comes from a young man."

"To be honest, I didn't think that such a view would come from such a young man's idea, but it is also a warning to us. In fact, we have discovered the problem long ago, but we all choose to pretend not to see it!"

"Mr. Lynch!", Mr. President looked around, his eyes finally fell on Lynch, the crowd parted, and Lynch was exposed to people's eyes.

Even Mr. Wardrick looked at Lynch in amazement. He was a little confused. How could such an inconspicuous person cause Mr. President to speak up on such an important occasion.

"Mr. Lynch first put forward this point of view. He made me understand that isolation does not mean giving up all rights and obligations, nor does it mean giving up all responsibilities."

"That's not the right way to write in isolation, that's shirking responsibility and escapism."

"I will let the Federation participate more in some international affairs. This time we are no longer playing 'deserters'. The mistakes we made in the past will serve as a warning to our wisdom and guide us to the right path."

"For the Federation, for the people, long live the Free Federation!"

The president raised his wine glass, and the people also raised their wine glasses, shouting the same words, shouting long live the Freedom Federation, and the atmosphere became high in an instant!
Then there is the individual deeper communication, and everyone can chat with the president about what they care about and are interested in, and of course this is the core content of this celebration.

They will put forward some ideas and appeals of their own. If Mr. President thinks it is appropriate, he may give them a certain degree of confirmation, but it will definitely not be a promise.

In addition, this is also a very high-standard social occasion, top capitalists, top politicians, all kinds of looming brokers, they gather together!
Some people started looking for someone to chat with, but more people continued to surround Mr. President.

After Lynch dismissed two guys who came to chat with him but had no real content, when they got close to Mr. President, they were already talking about something.

"I just had a phone conversation with the President of the... country not long ago. He highly affirmed our reintegration into the international community and agreed to promote bilateral trade to a limited extent based on the current situation..."

"In the next period of time, we will arrange some people to go abroad to take a look, inspect the investment environment and market economy of other countries, and look for some business opportunities..."
