Chapter 354 The only person who can defeat the hero is the villain
Healthy Commonwealth, a private foundation aimed at strengthening the constitution of the Commonwealth.

There are almost no such foundations in Bupain. There are so many members of Congress. Even if each person is related to only two foundations, there are almost a thousand foundations here.

But how can a member of Congress be related to only two foundations, some people have shares in more than a dozen different foundations, two...that is mocking their influence.

The problems here are very complicated, but before Mr. Truman took action, he did not think he would be stumped, because behind him is the current Mr. Have good personal friendships.

But he still underestimated the Foundation, and those connected to it, he was paralyzed.

This is the best feedback to him who has gradually become a little arrogant and conceited during this period, and punches him hard in the face.

Since the afternoon, people have been calling to ask him about the purpose and ideas of investigating the Healthy Federal Foundation, and want to probe deeper.

He thought it was just a Welsh MP reacting to the crisis, but he was wrong.

Since a few years ago, the federal medical group has been trying to promote the commercialization of medical insurance reform. They advocate that commercial medical insurance is more effective than social security insurance, and even mislead the public to a certain extent about drugs, especially chemical synthetic drugs. Awareness of the role.

For example, they always tell the public that cheap things will not be good things. Medicines are sold so cheap because they have no value and efficacy. Only those high-priced medicines that are not included in the medical insurance system can better help patients. Get out of sickness.

The government does not allow those drugs that are really effective for the disease to be included in the designated drugs of the insurance, because it wants to avoid the high cost of medical insurance for the people, and the government is unwilling to bear heavy medical expenses.

They also have a very famous slogan - "No one can love yourself more than yourself, not even the federal government!"

TV commercials, newspapers, social activists...

They have exhausted all kinds of ways to promote the comprehensive withdrawal of medical insurance from social insurance, and they are constantly moving forward on the road to success.

Although Congress has not passed this reform proposal so far, compared with the firm opposition of members of Congress during the first and second votes, many people's attitudes have begun to soften, from "never" to "maybe" Yes", some people even simply fell to the medical group.

And these are inseparable from the lobbying groups of medical groups and their benefit delivery.

No one knows how much they spent on this, but one thing is certain, most of Bu Paine's lobby groups and brokers have lived well in recent years.

Among the shareholders of the Healthy Federal Foundation, in addition to Wales, there are actually several other members of Congress who are holding shares, and these people are members of the medical group who are lobbying or have fallen to the medical group.

In other words, Mr. Truman's investigation of the Healthy Federal has already alarmed the medical group, which has shocked and frightened them.

Once these benefit transfers are exposed, their efforts over the years will be wiped out in an instant.

Even under the promotion of huge public opinion, the federal government will inevitably be affected and have to open a case for investigation.

Of course, these have no specific meaning to them. Throwing a few scapegoats can divert the public's attention, but their efforts all the time will be wasted, and they will not allow this to happen.

People keep coming to inquire about Mr. Truman's purpose and what he wants, and even warn him to give up the investigation of the healthy federal people as soon as possible. This matter is different from those he has been in contact with before. It is not a presidential palace The top officer in the office can handle it.

The caller became more and more famous, and the pressure on Mr. Truman was also increasing. When the minister of the Ministry of Science and Development called him, he finally understood that he had to explain this matter clearly, otherwise it would be troublesome Still behind.

This is not a seemingly simple nervous reaction. In fact, what he is facing is a more terrifying and larger interest group than he imagined. The annual profit margin of billions or tens of billions is enough to make these people take risks. .

Until... Mr. President also called him.

"Before I made this call, I was thinking about whether to call you..." Mr. President's tone has not changed much from the past. If you distinguish carefully, you may be able to find some subtleties in his voice. ……exhausted.

Whether it is the tandem from the Welsh MPs that made him a little passive in Congress and public opinion, or today's sudden situation, his brain is about to explode now.

He couldn't help laughing as he spoke, the laughter was full of helplessness, "I really want to tell you like a hero, Truman, just let it go, there is no difficulty that can defeat us..."

"But, I'm not a hero."

"I'm just a failed president. What happened today made me a little discouraged. It turns out that even if I become president, we will not be able to do things according to our own ideas."

"But I will cheer up, and I hope you can cheer up too. Today's failure made us realize that we are still very weak, and we are not the opponents of those people."

"We will continue to grow, we still have a chance, one day we can face them, face difficulties like a real hero, and then knock them down."

"..."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I can't bear the pressure."

Truman was silent for a long time, four to five minutes, or longer. He kept the microphone close to his ear, and the people on both sides did not speak. They could hear the breathing of the person on the other side through the receiver.

After the silence, Mr. Truman spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "I also need to apologize, Mr. President, my arrogance made me ignore some problems."

"Because of my fault, we fell into a passive situation. In fact, we can do better."

"However, what happened today also made me realize a new problem. Not only do we have external enemies, but internally, we also have hidden enemies that were unimaginable before."

"But they are also careless, they let us start to pay attention to them, what we are facing now is only a temporary concession, we still have a lot of time, we will definitely win!"

Early the next morning, Truman, the chief executive of the International Policy/Affairs Research Office of the President's Cabinet, resigned from the President because he believed that his current ability could not afford this important job, but he was declined by the President.

Subsequently, a middle-level cadre of the Federal National Security Council was arrested for "dereliction of duty". At the same time, the investigation of the healthy federal people was fully concluded, and a satisfactory answer sheet was given to everyone.

All the funds of the Healthy Federal are in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Charter and federal laws. All business processes are legal, all beneficiaries are legal, and all funds are legal. Regarding the Healthy Federal Fund The investigation of the meeting ends here.

This matter is not even on the news, and no news dares to report these contents. No matter whether it is the Progressive Party, the Conservative Party or the Socialist Party, no one dares to touch this minefield.

This is of course another great victory for the capitalists, even the president has to bow to them.

Mr. Truman was granted a three-day vacation by the president, allowing him to regroup and face new tasks and work. As soon as he returned home, he saw a truck parked outside his house.

The sensitivity of the work made Mr. Truman put his hands in his arms immediately. He walked around the truck and saw his wife and children, handing over two blue vests and sketching on a clipboard.

In fact, the Great Recession that the Commonwealth is facing is not entirely a shortcoming, at least people have begun to consider the feelings of consumers.

In the past, these shipping companies were not as user-friendly as they are now, and they would require customers to fill out some forms. They would throw things anywhere, or even leave without notifying the owner of the goods. Now this phenomenon is gone.

They're gentler, more considerate, and more careful than ever, because every bad review a customer gets paid for one point less, and more bad reviews can cost them their jobs.

This may be one of the few advances in the recession.

"What are these?", Mr. Truman walked over.

His wife immediately explained to him, "Didn't you send some new things?" His wife had a smile on her face, "This is really a huge surprise, and you still want to hide it from me?" me?"

She mistakenly took these as surprises from Mr. Truman, but she didn't know that the man in front of her was similar to her at this moment, but she was only surprised, not happy.

Just when Mr. Truman was about to say something more, the phone in the room rang.

He stood outside the door, took a look, patted his wife's hand, and walked into the room.

The first time he picked up the phone, a slightly familiar voice rang. This voice should have spoken to him yesterday, but there were too many people on the phone, and he had already forgotten who this person was.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Truman, I already know some more detailed content. I want to apologize to you for our overreaction yesterday. What you see is my heart. I hope you can accept it."

Mr. Truman frowned and replied, "What if I don't accept it?"

The guy on the other end of the phone laughed, "You better accept it!"

There was no threat, even his words did not seem to be a threat, but Mr. Truman still felt a threat full of confidence from his words.

He glanced back at his wife and children standing at the door who were saying goodbye to the freight workers, "Your name?"

The person on the phone does not seem to be a hero. Of course, this is normal. It is often the villain who can defeat the hero. "When we have needs, we will meet, and you will know who I am."

"but not now……"

Looking at the hanging receiver in his hand, a power transformed from anger is quietly growing and spreading in Truman's body. He knows that his opponent has one more!
