Chapter 2496

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 have talked about this with people from the medical group, as well as people from the bank and insurance industry, and they are very supportive of my reform of the medical insurance system."

"My team has been studying this issue for more than half a year. Today's medical insurance is indeed somewhat behind the times."

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

By paying a small amount of money every month, you can enjoy some low-priced medicines and very few free medical services.

For example, there is no additional cost other than medicine for getting an injection in a designated hospital. If you do not participate in insurance, you will also 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 "micro-surgery."

Since it is a surgery, whether it is large or micro, there is always a surgery fee.

This may be one of the few medical benefits available under the social security system.

Lin Qi took a sip of the wine. Connor's wines were all very good. Not only was he very rich, he often gave some wine when others gave him gifts.

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

He listened carefully and then motioned for Connor to continue.

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

"Less than 40 percent of people clearly expressed their willingness to pay more to enjoy better medical services."

"Among the remaining 60%, half said it doesn't matter whether it should be reformed or not, and the other half said they were not optimistic about the future of reform."

Lynch sounded a little confused, and of course Connor's expression was not precise. "You mean that at least one-third of the people now agree with the reform?"

This number is much smaller than Lynch himself imagined, and he believes that at least half of the population will want better health care.

At present, the federal medical problem does not seem to be very serious, but in fact, behind this very easy problem are many people who cannot afford to see medical care, their helplessness, and their acceptance of a more cruel reality.

Today’s medical groups don’t have the habit of doing good things. Do you want to see a doctor if you don’t have money?

Go ahead and dream!

The federal government does not provide better medical protection. In addition to the lowest price for purchasing designated drugs and no surgical fees for injections and IV fluids, there is nothing else you can enjoy.

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

The current federal social security system costs only account for about 5% of tax revenue, calculated based on Bu Payne's current basic salary of 523 yuan.

This amount of money includes about 160 to 200 yuan in taxes. If we take the middle 180 yuan to calculate, then in fact each taxpayer pays only about 10 yuan in social security fees every month. bucks.

That's one hundred and twenty dollars 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 the fact that some families with income have to pay social security contributions for those without income.

It's like a family with five people, but only one person works.

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

Their lives will become a mess!

However, there is good news. After liberating the female labor force, there are now more and more dual-income families in the Federation.

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

But no matter what, there are still a small number of families who can accept this additional support.

Among the groups that support the reform of the medical security system, the middle class and quasi-middle class almost account for the majority!

High income means they are willing to spend more and enjoy better medical coverage.

This problem is actually very difficult to solve. Only by comprehensively increasing people's income can it be effectively solved. But increasing people's income is not something that can be solved in one 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?"
