Chapter 330 Medical Reform, Medical Insurance!
Magic City, one of the most prosperous cities in China, is also a top metropolis with a global outlook, and you can feel what it is like to be at the forefront of the world here.
The Oshu Daily once said: "In Pudong, you can even feel the silver flowing on the streets. ā
However, this modern metropolis also has a less glamorous side.
Deep in an old street in the magic capital, there is a three-story dilapidated factory building, and people in the vicinity avoid it.
This factory that has been abandoned has not been demolished, and a group of leukemia patients moved here a few years ago and made a home in the factory.
Cheap, it's hard to find a cheaper place to stay in the magic capital.
The people who live here have no money, and some people say that they don't have money and go to the big city, they deserve it!
But they have to stay in the big cities, which have big hospitals and the best doctors in the country to prolong their lives as much as possible.
On this day, Li Zhenguo came back from the hospital with his six-year-old son in his arms, got off the bus, and walked along the old street to the factory.
When he was about to get home, he ran into a few neighbors, let's call them neighbors.
However, when they saw Li Zhenguo holding the child, they all subconsciously stayed away, and one of them even coughed twice, so frightened that he quickly covered his nose and walked away quickly.
In this case, Li Zhenguo did not have any accidents and unhappiness, he has been moving here for more than half a year, and he has long been used to it.
Even, if that neighbor really caught a cold, he would send a clean mask that he had with him.
Today, Li Zhenguo is not only not unhappy, but even full of joy along the way, because his son has been saved.
More than half a month ago, a young patient put a movie called "I Am Not the God of Medicine" on his mobile phone to show them, although it was very blurry, there were double visions, and there was even a big head in the middle blocking part of it, but he and the patients watched it very seriously.
Crying too, everyone cried.
It was also from the movie that they learned that there was a generic drug of Indu, although many people across the country were buying generic drugs, but not everyone knew about it.
After watching the movie, they elected a person as a representative to help them go to Yindu to buy imitation Gleevec, who used to open a commissary, but his wife had leukemia and left her hometown to take her to the magic capital to see a doctor.
They don't ask for 500 yuan a bottle, even if it is 5,000 yuan, they are satisfied, at least there is hope.
Just as he was thinking that his son could take cheap medicine and be saved, the child on Li Zhenguo's back suddenly pointed to a commissary next to him and whispered, "Dad, I want to eat popsicles." ā
Turning back to meet his son's hopeful eyes, Li Zhenguo felt a pain in his heart, turned around and walked into the commissary, regardless of the boss's strange eyes, and bought a lollipop and an ice cream.
There are cheap medicines to eat, you can take a breath, and occasionally sell some snacks to the child, the child is too bitter!
Walking briskly towards the house, feeling the popsicle in his son's hand touching his neck from time to time, the cold touch, but his heart was hot.
"Dad. The son behind him broke the popsicle and handed half of it to Li Zhenguo's mouth.
"Xiaobao, you can eat it, and Dad will buy it for you every day in the future." ā
Hearing this, Xiaobao's eyes were full of light.
When Li Zhenguo returned to the factory, he found that many people were crowded on the first floor.
"Uncle Li, come and watch the movie, this time it's in HD. A young man waved at Li Zhenguo.
When I got closer, they were staring at a second-hand smartphone, on which they were playing "I Am Not the God of Medicine" from more than half a month ago, but this time it was much clearer, and there was already a high-definition pirated version on the Internet.
"Xiao Xu, this time it's much clearer. sighed with emotion, Li Zhenguo and his son also joined the movie.
"Uncle Li, now is the era of science and technology, this disease will be cured sooner or later" Xiao Xu smiled, compared with most patients, he is much more cheerful and sunny, and he changes his clothes and stops in school, just like a contemporary college student.
Li Zhenguo nodded, "When you are cured, you will have to go back to college, and you will only be able to make a success in studying." ā
Xiao Xu showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled brightly, "I'm going to study medicine." ā
After the greetings, they also stared intently at the second-hand smartphone of an unknown brand in front of them.
When Li Zhenguo came, it had been half an hour, and an hour and a half passed quickly, and just like the first time, they cried again.
Xiao Xu said loudly to everyone, "Don't be sad, Uncle Zhou has already gone to the channel of going abroad, and it won't be long before he can come back with cheap generic drugs." ā
These words made everyone feel a lot better, and many people rarely showed a sincere smile, obviously they trusted Lao Zhou very much, whether it was ability or character, the key was that he could speak a few words of English.
"Lao Zhou is back!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, causing a commotion, everyone quickly turned their heads, and a middle-aged man of about forty walked slowly towards this side, and Hula surrounded him.
"Old Zhou, how is it?"
"Lao Zhou, when can I go to Yindu, we all rely on you. ā
"Uncle Zhou, have you done the channel?"
"Old Zhou..."
Facing the gossiping crowd, Lao Zhou looked at a pair of hopeful eyes and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
The patients are inferior, but also sensitive, and they discovered Lao Zhou's one in an instant.
Li Zhenguo laughed and patted Lao Zhou's shoulder, "It's still a sale, hurry up and tell everyone the good news, everyone is waiting for you." ā
However, the people next to him clearly found that Li Zhenguo's laughter was a little scared, and his hand on Lao Zhou's body was obviously trembling.
"Iā" Lao Zhou lowered his head and said with some bitterness, "I can't help you buy medicine." ā
The air instantly fell silent, and all the patients, including the patients who hurriedly came down from the stairs when they heard Lao Zhou coming back, stopped and did not dare to take another step.
Everyone's eyes were full of disbelief, but no one dared to ask him why.
Lao Zhou explained, "Just now I went to a patient who ran a shopping agent, and he said that he would not do it anymore. ā
"For... Why?"
"The state has changed the law to say that even if it is harmless to the human body, it will be imprisoned. ā
"Who else?"
"But I can't go to jail, what about my wife?"
"You're helping us bring medicine, it's not selling fake medicine, are you?"
Facing everyone's pleading eyes, Lao Zhou still shook his head, "Now the only way is to go to Yindu to buy it yourself, I have already asked, the people who run the purchasing agent have not taken other orders, they are not at ease, and they only sell to old customers." ā
After speaking, Lao Zhou went upstairs to take his wife and fled here with a look of shame.
An atmosphere of despair began to spread at the scene, none of them had even gone abroad, and the only one who could speak English was at least a little, but he did not bring the medicine in and out of the channel, and he could not pass the customs.
Moreover, Lao Zhou is a healthy person, he is a leukemia patient, leukemia patients have high requirements for the environment, and a little bacteria can cause various symptoms.
Even if you can withstand the environment of Indu, you can't stay there for long.
Someone began to sobbed quietly, someone who had become numb turned around with a blank face and returned to his room.
"Ahh
"Dad?" Li Zhenguo's son beside him brought him back from his despair.
Looking at his son who was pulling the waist of his pants, Li Zhenguo's eyes hurt, and he picked up his son and went upstairs.
He bent his waist, just stepped on the steps, his feet were weak, and he almost fell, but he still held on to the handrail of the stairs before slowly walking up to the second floor step by step.
......
A similar situation occurs in many parts of the country, some people who originally watched the movie, had a glimmer of hope, and wanted to find someone to buy Yindu generic drugs, because of the change of the legal provisions, did not dare to go again, even if they went, they were to help their families and some people with good relationships, and they did not dare to help so many people bring medicine, and their loved ones had cheap medicine to eat, and no one wanted to go to jail.
And those who were originally engaged in purchasing agents, some people were afraid to stop, and some people continued to do so, but they also narrowed the scope of drug supply.
At the same time, there are still people who have a fearless mentality and do their best to help the patients around them, but such people are a minority after all.
Anyway, because of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the promulgation of this law immediately spread all over the Internet, even if you don't go online, you will listen to the people next to you.
And on the Internet, it exploded again, and some people even speculated that this was the handiwork of pharmaceutical companies, which was aimed at those patients who ate generic drugs.
"I'm in the jungle, these pharmacists really don't give anyone else a way to live, right? ā
"If I am a leukemia patient, since I can't live, I just go to that pharmaceutical company and kill their boss!"
"The cliff is a ghost made by a pharmaceutical company, I said that they have not been whitewashed and public relations before, it turns out that they are holding back their big moves!"
"I'm so angry, what do you think above, isn't this obviously not letting people eat Yindu generic drugs, this is forcing them to die!"
"Why! Why!!!! why gave me a glimmer of hope and deprived it, I just wanted to live!!!!"
"The brother upstairs is a patient, be strong, there is always a way!"
"Labor and capital lungs are going to explode, be a person, aren't you afraid of retribution, after death, you will go to eighteen layers of hell!"
"Woooooo I'm really going to cry, as soon as this article is amended, it really forces people to a dead end!"
"I was a big man crying, and the tears couldn't help but flow down when I thought of how desperate those poor leukemia patients must be now!"
"How can there be such a thing in the world, draft!!!"
"I work in a pharmaceutical company, and I was scolded by my mother just now, saying that if I was like a black-hearted pharmacist, I would not recognize my son and would kick me out of my family.
"God, open your eyes, hurry up and take away the boss of the company!"
......
On the Internet, it has become a mess, and countless excited netizens have scolded in various forums and websites, and have begun to curse, ginseng roosters, and even bring their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Since the release of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", from the initial sympathy for patients, to scolding the pharmaceutical company, and then to the public relations of the pharmaceutical company, netizens have hated the drug company even more.
A few days ago, several major pharmaceutical companies frequently broke out black materials, which made netizens eager to eat them alive.
And now, although the change of legal provisions has little to do with this matter, after all, purchasing agents belong to smuggling, even if they do not commit the crime of selling counterfeit drugs, they are also guilty of smuggling.
However, with the online public opinion in the past nearly a month, patients and netizens subconsciously believe that the adaptation of this law is aimed at patients who purchase generic drugs.
In fact, people who are a little more sober know that the change of a law and regulation is not so simple, at least dozens or even hundreds of various meetings will be held, maybe Li Qian did not plan to shoot "I Am Not the God of Medicine", he was already going through the process.
However, people do not want to be sober, or say that the public opinion that has been accumulated in their hearts for a month has exploded at the touch of this caution, and they can't control it.
Li Qian can imagine how helpless and desperate the patients should be now, and how angry netizens should be.
Some people suspected that it was a change in the provisions led by pharmaceutical companies, and scolded it all over again.
Looking at the voices of netizens and patients on the Internet, Li Qian's heart was also panicked.
Maybe without "I Am Not the God of Medicine", there would not be so many things, and the patients are still sick, but they are becoming more and more desperate.
Even Li Qian held a press conference from the bottom of his heart, openly calling for the impulse to change the system.
However, Li Qian, you still restrained it, he knew that once he did this, it would be easy for the above to think that he was blackmailing the will of the people, and that would be even more beneficial.
I can only endure it, and I can't do anything drastic.
No one wants to be coerced, if any employee coerces Li Qian, he will be fired from the backhand.
At this time, Li Qian knew that there was heaven in front and hell in the back, and there was no other way.
Han Sanping's phone call came unexpectedly, warning Li Qian not to do anything.
endured it for a day or two, just when Li Qian no longer had hope.
On the third day, a turning point was finally ushered in, and the official website of the government cabinet published the instructions of the big leader on "I am not the god of medicine".
"Anti-cancer drugs are life-saving drugs, and they cannot be reduced by taxes and prices, and we must take multiple measures to open up the intermediate links, supervise and promote the price reduction of anti-cancer drugs, and let the masses have a real sense of gain.
Adopt methods such as centralized government procurement, timely inclusion of imported innovative drugs, especially urgently needed anti-cancer drugs, into the reimbursement catalogue of medical insurance, and study the use of multiple channels to eliminate all kinds of unreasonable price increases in circulation, strengthen intellectual property protection for innovative chemical drugs, and strengthen quality supervision ......"
There are a lot of words, but Li Qian has grasped the two key pieces of information, medical reform and medical insurance!
"Yay!"
Li Qian's face flushed with excitement, and he waved his hand heavily, with the leader's instructions, the market is basically stable!
