Chapter 286: Replies

After reading these posts from netizens, Niu Tiangou seemed to be a little unable to sit still, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, and decided to reply to a post in the name of the Liu family brothers and sisters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thinking of this, Niu Tiangou took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Liu Sisi to ask for her opinion.

Hearing the sound of the TV in the living room, it is estimated that Dr. Xue Lian is watching TV, and after a pause, Niu Tiangou sent a text message to Liu Sisi:

"Sisi, I just read the post on the Internet, I want to reply to the post in the name of you and your brother, do you think?"

After a while, Liu Sisi replied: "Cheng." Anyway, you already know about this, so you can respond to those netizens on our behalf. ”

After receiving the phone, Niu Tiangou began to write a post with the title of "Our Response" under the screen name of "Liu Family Brothers and Sisters", he wrote:

"After the post about my father's millions of medical expenses was posted on the Internet, we did not expect to cause such a strong response, and in such a short period of time, thousands of netizens followed and posted, and we would like to express our gratitude to the vast number of netizens who are enthusiastically following this matter.

"After reading the posts of some netizens, we also want to say a few more words.

"First of all, what we want to say is that what we have reflected and what the vast majority of netizens have reported is basically the truth.

"My father was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Binhai Hospital for 64 days, spending more than 1.3 million yuan, an average of more than 20,000 yuan a day, which is a fact, and it is also true that there are obviously many illegal charges in the hospital's charges.

"It is a fact that some doctors report that some doctors prescribe more drugs to patients, prescribe high-priced drugs and expensive drugs, combine drugs, prescribe large prescriptions, increase the charging standards, repeat examinations or use high-end medical equipment to check, dismember charging items, duplicate charges, and cost 'stuffy bags', hanging beds, etc.;

"It is also true that some hospitals reflect that drug income and medical income are directly linked to the bonuses and commissions of medical staff, and even let each department independently account and contract;

It is even more objective that the state civil servants enjoy publicly-funded medical care, and some qualified urban personnel enjoy social medical insurance, while the vast number of urban poor and peasants, who account for the vast majority of the country's population, are all excluded from medical insurance, resulting in the injustice of the medical care system and the loopholes in the medical insurance system itself.

"The facts are there, the problems are there, and no one can avoid them or cover them up.

"However, it is easy to raise (reflect) problems, it is difficult to analyze problems, and it is especially difficult to solve them, and what we really need is to find a way to solve the problem from the analysis.

"If you don't solve the problem in the end, it's all in vain.

"Secondly, we want to say that we need to give some explanations for some of the doubts of netizens.

"Our father is a private entrepreneur, not a state civil servant as some netizens speculate, and he is not eligible for publicly-funded medical care at all, which is one of them; My father had a social medical insurance before his death, which could reimburse some of it, but for more than 1.3 million, it was insignificant, which was the second thing.

"We are generally aware of some of the restrictions on reimbursement when it comes to paying for medical expenses. In fact, we don't expect that amount of medical insurance reimbursement at all. In our hearts, the father's life is more important than anything else, even if the medical insurance can't be reimbursed for a penny, as a child, to repay the father's nurturing grace, no matter how much money you spend, it is also deserved, after all, life belongs to the father only once.

"More than 1.3 million, for an ordinary family, is indeed an astronomical amount, but for our family, it is indeed not a heartbreaking thing, if we can save my father's life, we are even willing to pay another one or two million, but this is no longer possible.

"Therefore, we are shocked by the so-called "Liu family brothers and sisters who spent more than 1.3 million yuan and did not save their father" because of the so-called "difficulty in reimbursement by the patient's family" speculated by netizens, so they began to 'extort the hospital', 'This may be deliberately arranged by the Liu family brothers and sisters'.

"We accept that 'the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, who spent more than 1.3 million yuan and did not save their father', are resentful, and this is indeed what we felt in our hearts at that time;

"What is extortion? It is the act of forcibly extorting public or private property from the victim by threatening or coercing the victim for the purpose of illegal possession.

"Excuse me, are we aiming for unlawful possession? Did we use threats or coercion? Did we forcibly demand our belongings? We resolutely pay the fees that should be paid, and we hope to return the fees that should not be charged, is this considered a 'forcible demand' for property?

"We just truthfully reflected the problem of unreasonable and illegal hospital charges, and fulfilled the responsibility of a citizen, even if the matter is finally resolved, the hospital returned us those unreasonable charges, which is also a matter of course, and it is also with everyone to maintain a fair medical consumption environment, so that everyone can consume clearly in the future, is this extortion?

"What is deliberate? It's just that this meaning has long been meaningful, that is, to have a heart. As the pillar of the enterprise, the father is dying, his life is hanging by a thread, the whole family is worried, we as children are eager to take out our hearts and dedicate them to the hospital, can we still have the kung fu to 'mind' think about other things?

"We really can't imagine that when the lives of our relatives are dying, there are still people who are full of thoughts and do their best to save the lives of their relatives, and have the heart and energy to 'deliberately arrange' and 'extort hospitals'!

"We are so bent on preserving my father's life that we don't even think about money, and besides, how can a patient's family ask a doctor to treat a doctor while calculating with the doctor and checking the accounts every day?

"After my father's funeral, our family was still immersed in grief, although we felt that after spending so much money, people still died, and we felt a little aggrieved, but we didn't think about checking the accounts at all, and we didn't plan to negotiate with the hospital.

"Later, relatives and friends told us about the hospital's arbitrary charges, thinking that there must also be a problem of arbitrary charges among the more than 1.3 million, which was too unjustly spent, and repeatedly asked us to check. So, my brother and sister looked at the bill, and sure enough, they found that there were indeed many problems in the charge, so they dared to ask the hospital, but the hospital ignored it.

"Considering that indiscriminate charging is a common social problem, at the suggestion of relatives and friends, our brother and sister reported the situation to the newspaper and the Health Bureau, and then posted it on the Internet, in order to attract the attention of the society and the majority of medical consumers, so that everyone can use less unjust money in the future, so that more people can afford to get sick, but I didn't expect to attract a charge of 'extortion' and 'deliberate arrangement'!

"Some netizens have reported that many industries and departments are charging indiscriminately, asking us 'why do we only shoot at the medical department', here we also want to ask: Can farmers ignore the weeds in front of them because the fields are full of weeds?

"Someone has to take the lead in reflecting the problem, someone has to take the lead in breaking the pus, someone has to take the lead in eradicating weeds, if everyone does this, will there be such a big market for indiscriminate charging?

"We all encounter the problem of arbitrary fees in departments such as education, banking, telecommunications, electricity, housing management, transportation, etc., if we are all commonplace, insensitive, and tolerant and tolerant, it will only encourage this kind of atmosphere; If we retaliate by taking the way that you collect indiscriminately and I indiscriminately, it will only worsen this atmosphere, and in the end it will be the people at the bottom who suffer.

"Our company has also suffered from the industry and commerce, taxation, quality supervision and other departments of arbitrary charges, but we have through communication, consultation, and finally properly resolved, if they are also like the hospital ignorance, so that we are difficult to accept, we will also work with relevant enterprises to reflect to the above, because this is directly related to our vital interests and many enterprises.

"Again, what we want to say is that the problem we have reported only involves some of the relevant personnel in the intensive care unit of the hospital, and does not target the majority of grassroots medical workers.

Just as some rural cadres do not charge fees on behalf of the vast number of peasants, some schools do not charge fees on behalf of the majority of teachers, some banks do not charge fees on behalf of all bank staff, and some industrial and commercial offices, tax offices, and traffic management offices do not represent all the staff members of their departments.

Moreover, the indiscriminate charging of a small number of medical personnel is largely caused by certain regulations and systems of hospitals, and a small number of leaders of some hospitals are direct accomplices, shielders, or even instigators. As doctors, they are passive, and they are powerless and unable to withstand the leader's decision, otherwise they don't want to mess around.

As for the behavior of a small number of public hospitals taking medical insurance funds and individual private hospitals defrauding medical insurance funds reflected by netizens, they cannot represent all medical workers.

"We also have many relatives and friends who work in public hospitals and private hospitals, and while they work hard, their salaries including bonuses are not high, and they do not get much benefit from indiscriminate fees.

"Finally, what we want to say is that the problem of indiscriminate hospital charges and patients' difficult and expensive medical treatment should be said to be a developing problem, which cannot be rushed, and it will take time to completely solve it.

"Medical reform involves the distribution and readjustment of interests in all aspects of society, related to the life and health protection of the broad masses of the people, and also related to the vital interests of the vast number of grassroots medical workers, although the state has thought of a lot of ways and spent a lot of effort to rectify the unhealthy trend of indiscriminate charges in the medical industry, but China's current medical and health system is full of drawbacks, and it is difficult to return, hoping to solve the problem overnight, and immediately come up with a plan that satisfies the vast majority of people, which is not realistic.

"The trend of indiscriminate collection has been around for a long time, not only in the medical industry, but also in other industries.

"The policy has been introduced above, and the countermeasures have been secretly taken below, and the indiscriminate charging behavior in all walks of life will tenaciously appear in new tricks, and it will not be eradicated in a day.

"Why has the state been controlling indiscriminate fees for so many years, and it is still 'pressing the gourd to float the scoop'? The key is still in the word 'profit'.

"No profit can not be early, 'the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for the past'. Arbitrary collection of fees is often carried out under the banner of public service, but in fact it is for the private interests of small groups and individuals. Handing over the finance is mostly a disguise, and the essence is to enrich the small treasury of the department by fake public and private funds, and finally fill the private pockets - this is the driving force behind the indiscriminate charges, and it is also the root cause of the first class.

It is precisely because of this that the people hate indiscriminate charging - the people do not hate the rich, but the corruption.

"Don't you see, the greater the power of some departments and units, the more they collect, the more magnificent their office buildings, and the brighter the leaders' cars? The welfare of its key members is also more bullish?

"Those who collect indiscriminately will still collect it; If you don't collect indiscriminately, how can you generate income!

"To solve the problem of indiscriminate harvesting, policy and self-discipline alone will not work, and a good social supervision mechanism needs to be built. This social supervision mechanism is to make the fee collection system completely 'transparent' and placed under the supervision of the masses.

"The dark mold is afraid of the natural sun, and the behavior of ** is afraid of the eyes of the masses.

"Let's ask, how many units and departments dare to publish the number and purpose of their own arbitrary charges? They don't dare, they are afraid of the eyes of the masses, they supervise the masses like a man's back, they feel uncomfortable, they are afraid of stripping off their clothes to 'expose' their 'small' coming, and they do everything possible to cover them up.

"Charging indiscriminately is the most afraid of seeing the 'sunshine'." 'Sunshine' is a panacea for indiscriminate charges, and as long as it is placed under 'sunshine', it will be self-conscious.

"**No**, take it out and 'dry' a 'sun':

"'Sun' - it's hard to think about it**;' Cover' - no**will**. ”

The post was finally written, Niu Tiangou quickly checked it and then "posted" it to several communities, and then let out a long breath, and was about to browse the news again, when Dr. Xue Lian called him outside to wash his face and feet, so he had to answer, close the computer, stand up and leave the room.

……

In view of the focus of the media, medical indiscriminate charges have become a hot spot in society, and leaders at all levels in Binhai provinces and cities have finally paid great attention to it and responded quickly.

The Binhai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Department of Supervision, the Provincial Department of Health, the Binhai Municipal Supervision Bureau and the Municipal Health Bureau formed a joint investigation team to carefully investigate the relevant information reported by the media reports and the Liu family members of the patients, and reviewed and determined the patient's expense list item by item.

In the past few days, after further verification, the joint investigation team found that Binhai Hospital had illegal charges totaling more than 480,000 yuan during the treatment of Mr. Liu, including more than 340,000 yuan for hospitalization and monitoring fees in the intensive care unit, as well as more than 140,000 yuan for medicines, treatments, examinations, laboratory tests, and disposable sanitary materials.

After the Binhai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Department of Supervision, and the Provincial Department of Health decided that the president of Binhai Hospital was given an administrative demotion because he had important leadership responsibility for the overbilling and duplicate billing problems in the incident; The secretary of the party committee of the hospital was given an intra-party warning because of his leadership responsibility; The director of the intensive care unit and the head nurse who are directly responsible for the problem of duplicate billing are to be dismissed; The chief of the financial section and the price manager who are directly responsible for the increase in standard fees and repeated billing shall be given the punishment of demotion, recording a major demerit, respectively.

In the end, after mediation by the Binhai Municipal Health Bureau, Binhai Hospital agreed to refund the fees that the patient's family and the investigation team determined to be arbitrarily charged.

These were all things that Liu Sisi called to tell Niu Tiangou a few days later, and he has confirmed it from Dr. Xue Lian's mouth and the news on the Internet.
