Chapter 23 Private Medical Insurance
It was late at night, and the table lamp in the county party secretary's house was still on.
The floor was wiped clean, and Wu Shan went to see his son barefoot in his pants.
Wu Congying slept soundly, frowning from time to time.
Wait, the kid is talking in his sleep!
Although the voice is vague, knowing his son is more than his father, and the time he has spent with his son is not short.
It seems that what he said was, "Dad, I don't want to go!" I'll be very well-behaved! ”
Gently wiped the fine beads of sweat off his son's forehead, and dimmed the brightness of the bedside lamp a little more.
"Son, don't worry!" Wu Shan gently put on the small quilt that Cong Ying kicked away, and muttered silently: "In this life, unless you want to fly high one day, Dad will not let you leave my side!" ”
He returned to the study lightly, opened a book casually, but could not read anything.
"What's wrong?" Sally also came in: "Are you still thinking about the daytime?" ”
Wu Shan nodded silently.
The student who knelt down at first was named Niu Changqing. His biological parents were killed in a snowstorm many years ago, but a herder couple took them in. He also has a younger sister Niu Changying and younger brother Niu Changchun below.
The Kazakh herdsmen themselves had no children and treated the three children as if they were their own. Of course, the three children also treated the two old men as if they were their own parents.
Originally, the family life was not bad, and as the three children grew up, life should become more and more prosperous.
The problem lies with the little brother Niu Changchun.
Since childhood, my younger brother has been different from everyone else, with one leg thick and one leg thin. His left leg is the same as a normal person, but his right leg is like a child of several years old. And the leg area. Patches of red often appear.
The adoptive parents took their younger brother and went to the nearby hospitals, but they didn't give a specific explanation, and they didn't know what the disease was.
Otherwise, Niu Changqing's high school grades are not bad, and he can be admitted to another province to study a decent secondary school, instead of going to a health school in Wushi. He rummaged through the medical books in the library, but still couldn't find the disease.
If you want to talk about polio, it's really not like it.
Fortunately, he took the time to go to Yanhuang Hospital many times. Although Yan Huang's business is very busy. He was received by a Hong Kong Island doctor with a strong accent and preliminarily concluded that the teenager had a rare form of KT disease.
Niu Changqing was overjoyed and wrote a letter to his family. The adoptive parents sold two cows and scraped together a few hundred yuan to let Xiao Changchun go to the hospital. Sure enough, he was suffering from this disease.
However. At present, not to mention Yanhuang Hospital, even the whole world is helpless against this disease. Only conservative treatment should be taken.
Someday. The Hong Kong doctor excitedly told Niu Changqing that he pointed to an international medical document and said that perhaps constantly wiping the affected area with cactus juice would have a certain effect.
The document was in English, and Niu Changqing couldn't read it. The doctor on Hong Kong Island told him that there were people who had the same disease in Mexico because of the abundance of cacti. The child inadvertently uses it to wipe. It felt very comfortable. Over time, after a few years of wiping, the symptoms showed signs of abating. Of course, it is also possible that the symptoms are not exactly the same. But you can try.
There are really a lot of cacti in Victoria. But it is too difficult to collect them in the desert one by one.
So, Niu Changqing wanted to keep making money and bought it from the market to wipe it for his younger brother.
"What happened after the worst of the matter?" Sally was a little curious: "I heard the other teachers mention that student named Niu Changqing. In our Hefeng, it is worth writing about a secondary school student, and every student is talked about by teachers. ”
"What else can I do?" Wu Shan smiled wryly: "Let the people from the regional education bureau write down the names of the substitutes, and they will not be allowed to take the college entrance examination in the future." Unexpectedly, one of the fathers was still a deputy secretary of the commune, and the other two were the children of the deputy director and head of the executive bureau, and they were given an intra-party warning. ”
"What about Niu Changqing?" Sally became more and more interested: "If you report it to the health school, then the child will have to come back." ”
"Alas, maybe I'm a little short-sighted!" Wu Shan shook his head lightly: "Including those two foolish worms are to help friends, I will let the people of the regional education bureau show mercy, and don't file the students for the exam." ”
"Doesn't that let those three candidates get away with it?" Sally disagreed: "Even if their father is punished with a warning from the party for this, it will have to be revoked after a while." And it's still easy for high school students to find a job. ”
"Baby, what if the candidate is Congxuan?" Wu Shan couldn't help but smile: "Of course, our family hasn't reached that point yet. Even if he can't get into a good university in the mainland, he Lao Tzu and I will donate a sum of money to the famous school in the world in his photo and go directly to study! The law is nothing more than human feelings. The three foolish fathers here want their son to be Jackie Chan, and the stupid brother over there wants to treat his younger brother. ”
"Our family won't be like that!" Sally was a little puzzled: "Isn't the matter handled?" ”
"It's not!" Wu Shan waved his hand: "I'm thinking about other people." They can't afford to be treated when they are sick, and it's me, the secretary of the county party committee, who didn't do a good job. Last time there was a Xiahou Sheng, this time there is a Niu Changqing. If it weren't for Xia Housheng's transportation team and his son's own grandfather, I don't know if they would have survived. The Chen family's life is not easy, and the family is surrounded by walls. ”
Today's Sally has been in China for a while, and she is no longer the girl who didn't understand anything at the beginning. Some things are taken for granted abroad, but at home, there is no corresponding mechanism.
Not long after, the Standing Committee of the Hefeng County Party Committee was convened, which was almost the last Standing Committee before the National People's Congress.
The scale of the Standing Committee this time is larger than in the past. On the rostrum sat the secretary, deputy secretary, and county magistrate, and in the first row below were the other standing committee members, followed by the deputy county magistrate at home, the directors of various administrative bureaus, and the leaders of various commune-level units.
"Secretary, is there a meeting now?" Zeng Yingkai asked softly respectfully.
"Okay," Wu Shan looked at it, as if everyone was all together: "Lao Zeng, you come to preside over the meeting." ”
The front is all painless, nothing more than everyone must obey the instructions of the superiors and let the people's congress elect the prescribed candidates.
"Secretary, what other instructions do you have?" Zeng Yingkai was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting.
"Let me say a few words!" Wu Shan brought the microphone to him: "Comrades, during the college entrance examination, something happened to us here. I was deeply touched, and I will share it with everyone. ”
Yang Xingcai, who was sitting below, changed his face, why was Secretary Wu still ready to use this matter to take himself down?
Sure enough, that's what he's talking about. People who usually have good relations look at the director of education with worries on their faces, while those who don't have a good relationship are full of schadenfreude, waiting to see that Yang Xingcai is about to be taken down.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Wu's words changed: "Comrades, what does this mean?" It shows that our people are still very poor and take risks. The common people are poor. We can improve slowly, and I believe that the overall living standard of Zephyr will reach a new level in the next two years. The key is, what should I do if other people get sick in the future, a serious illness will go bankrupt! ”
Yang Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the secretary of the county party committee was going to take out the majesty of the king of Hades.
But. There was a dead silence for everyone below, and no one squeaked.
"Can you please think of a way?" Wu Shan sighed: "After all, they are all people in our jurisdiction. ”
Still no one spoke. Only Su Taibin frowned. Something seems to have come to mind. He looked at the stage and saw the secretary's approving gaze.
"Secretary Wu, comrades." The Minister of Propaganda stubbornly began to speak: "Hearing the secretary's speech just now, I was deafened. It is no secret that I grew up in the capital since I was a child, and I really didn't know that the life of the people here in Ludao was so hard. But. Even if such a thing happens in Jingshi, it is estimated that a family will be finished. ”
Seeing that the secretary on the stage was nodding at him, Su Taibin sorted out his thoughts: "Comrade Weiren said that reform itself is to cross the river by feeling the stones. The purpose of our reform and opening up. It's just to make it better for the common people to get over it. I am here to lead the way, and the government will take the lead in grasping the medical care of the people and set a good example for the rest of the country! ”
"Isn't that okay?" No one could have imagined that the first person to rise up against it was Tian Qianghua, the director of the Health Bureau: "In recent years, publicly-funded medical care has made our health department impoverished. To be honest, if we hadn't allocated some money every year, our hospital would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. If we make medical care free for the common people, not to mention that our finances cannot afford it at present, it is estimated that the entire medical system of Zephyr will be paralyzed immediately. ”
He said the truth, and no one refuted it. Many of the people here can pretend to be public and private, and if their family members have a serious illness or a small pain, they are all playing their own brand in medical treatment.
"What if the people themselves could afford it?" Wushan guided.
"Estimates are unrealistic!" Tian Qianghua didn't turn the corner: "Secretary, the example you gave just now, a well-off family will fall into a situation where the family is surrounded by four walls, let alone ordinary people?" ”
"Insurance?!" Zeng Ying opened a low voice. After all, he is a person from the capital, and it is normal for him to know that Dao insurance.
He felt a pang in his heart, looked at the secretary of the county party committee, and saw Wushan looking at him with a slight smile and nodding.
"Secretaries, comrades!" Zeng Ying was bold: "We can refer to the model of the insurance company to operate." Ordinary people can take out some money to participate in insurance every year according to their actual economic ability. For example, if your family environment is better, and you think that your family can take out 1,000 yuan a year, then when you are sick, you will be refunded 10 times the amount you handed in. ”
"Secretary, isn't that the pressure on the government again?" Kenbart was stunned: "People from poor families will take out a hundred yuan a year, and we will have to come up with a thousand yuan when the time comes!" ”
"It's not!" Su Taibin was also woken up by Zeng Yingkai: "Lao Ken, what about insurance, it will only be taken when you are sick." Of course, you won't be responsible for minor illnesses such as colds and flu. Besides, who got sick in the first two days? ”
He turned his head and said solemnly to the stage: "By the way, when I went to the Health Bureau to inspect, I saw that many comrades were spending the state's money on minor illnesses, which is not good. ”
Tian Qianghua was overjoyed: "Secretary, leaders, comrades, I suggest that in the future, cold medicines such as headache powder, as well as other minor illnesses and pains, should not be reimbursed." ”
There was no doubt that his proposal had been adopted, and the meeting had set out criteria for future reimbursements.
As for the insurance companies, they are led by the county treasury, but they are accounted for independently.
Seeing the head discussed below, Wu Shan smiled with relief. (To be continued......)
