Chapter 597: Charity Dinner [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]

"Mr. Gu, your proposal is very interesting, we will consider it......"

"Mr. Gu, we are very willing to cooperate with your work, but ......"

"Mr. Gu, we also hope that, really, that's also our wish, but ......"

"Mr. Gu, you have put forward a very beautiful idea, give us some time to think about it......"

"Captain Gu, the Spring Festival is coming, and we are resting everywhere, let's not rush in these few days, let's talk about it after the New Year, right?"

It's already 2023, and Gu Jun has been running around every day for the promotion of the "Free Medical Care Plan for All Mankind" project during this time.

The organization has equipped him with a working team, all of which are elites in related fields, and has also contacted top economists in the Tianxuan and Tianxuan worlds, advocates of universal free medical insurance, and others for collegiate discussions. No matter how hard it is, their team is doing it seriously.

This plan cannot be viewed only in terms of economic impact, but in the fight for a healthier, more equal, more united world, about the dignity and safety of all human beings.

That's what they're all about.

Departments in various countries, major pharmaceutical giants, sometimes by phone, remote video conference, sometimes face-to-face talks, Gu Jun led the team around the world.

In a flash, it is more than half a month. The Spring Festival in 2023 came early, and three days later, January 21, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve.

The biggest result is still the limited price reduction of some drugs promised by the pharmaceutical industry, and the improvement of the medical insurance policies promised by various countries, as for the participation in the coverage of the whole world, all mankind, there is little interest.

Gu Jun, they are not forced to do it in one fell swoop, those countries that have the ability can implement it in their own countries first, which will be a huge progress.

But this is still difficult, even in the world's most developed, richest, and most practical Citigroup, their push is like throwing a stone into the sea, and nothing can be smashed.

Citigroup has a population of about 327 million, about 85 million people are underinsured, and 28 million people do not have health insurance, and these people have poor access to health care.

Comprehensive health insurance coverage has always been a major issue in Citigroup.

There are many voices advocating free medical care for all, but they have long been criticized for being ambiguous and unrealistic.

How much does it cost more? Where does the money come from? How to add taxes? How to buy medical insurance? How much does each class cost?

These are some of the most common and core questions about universal free health care.

For Citigroup, there is still a reliable economic research foundation and a realistic and feasible plan, which can be seen in the presidential election in recent years.

Advocates say that noble goals require viable policies. In the plan they researched and designed, after the implementation of universal free medical care, some aspects will become cost-effective, and in fact, it will not cost too much more, but it will bring great improvement to people's health conditions, forming a virtuous circle.

In terms of taxation, it is natural to collect more taxes from capital and the wealthy class, remove subsidies for them, and make them bear more health insurance costs; Taxing the working class, the disadvantaged, giving them more subsidies and paying less for health insurance.

In this way, everyone will have access to high-quality medical care and live in a better society.

If you zoom things out to the global and Tianxuan worlds, the complexity of the plan will increase by a hundredfold or a thousand times.

But at least in Citigroup, free health care for all is feasible; In other countries, it is also possible.

But the need is that most people at the top, middle, and bottom are willing to make changes and implement them.

After coming to Citigroup, Gu Jun went to the WMO headquarters, the FBM headquarters, and some other departments, visited, lobbied, and explained the interests, and the most he got was ambiguous treatment. It was as if he was still walking in a piece of decaying mud, and it was difficult for him to move his feet, let alone stride forward.

There are still three days to go before the New Year, maybe it's time to go back to that country, go back for the festival, go to Wu Shiyu's house, go to Cai Zixuan's house to play, and get red envelopes......

It's just that Gu Jun can't relax, and this lack of progress makes it more and more difficult for him to fall asleep every night.

"Stay one more day, run a few more places." Gu Jun said to the members of the team, more support, more strength.

That evening, he was scheduled to attend a charity salon in New Yorktown, where there were many celebrities and wealthy people. They have a lot of influence and motivation in Citi's country, and if they can attract these people to join, it will be a good progress.

The streets are lit up and the salon is held in a banquet hall in a luxury hotel in the bustling city.

Gu Jun attended as a doctor for the GOA Mobile Task Force, and he is now a celebrity, so walking the red carpet has no problem, which will only make reporters have more topics to talk about. However, he entered through the side door of the hotel, avoiding the public eye. The organization has been explained, and it is necessary to keep a low profile and pay attention to the image.

However, the guests at the banquet knew that there would be such a person as him, and some of them attended because of this.

At this time, in the huge banquet hall, there were many people, and there were bursts of lively chatter and laughter, Gu Jun was now quite good at English, and he didn't need a translator.

His gaze looked around the brightly lit surroundings, where men dressed in smart suits, women dressed in fancy evening dresses, waiters walking through the crowd with wine trays in hand, plates of delicate food on the salon table. He, the man in the GOA uniform, was like an anomaly.

"Hey, Mr. Gu!" A middle-aged wealthy businessman was the first to notice him, and a surprise call made many people look at him, smiling and full of interest.

Now the whole world knows about the existence of "supernatural forces", and Gu Jun is one of the best fighters in GOA.

"Hello." Gu Jun nodded to them, he was not afraid of this kind of occasion, not to mention that he spent every day drinking and drinking when he was a local hero, and all his experiences in the past two years made him unable to cause a ripple in his heart about this kind of occasion.

On the contrary, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know the specific reason.

Maybe it's because the food is put there, it doesn't need that much, no one here eats that much, and it just ends up being thrown in the trash and wasted.

At the same time, several gentlemen and ladies came over.

Gu Jun looked at the guest list and recognized each of them, some were wealthy businessmen, some were movie stars, and some were celebrities. The political positions of these people are quite leftist, and it stands to reason that they are easy to fight for.

After getting to know each other and greeting each other, Gu Jun hurriedly began to lobby, "Everyone, I want to talk to you about the 'Free Medical Care Plan for All Mankind'. ”

He has to abide by the principle of secrecy, and he has not revealed information such as the Mysterious World, the Black Goat, and the Negative Choice Life Society, so he doesn't need to say so much to make this claim.

This is not a new idea, and we are committed to making the world a healthier place.

The novelty is the latter point, otherwise, global disasters and plagues will continue to come, becoming more and more serious, and everyone living in the world will not be able to stay out of it.

"We have a responsibility to save the world." Gu Jun said sincerely, while looking at them and nodding, "If we get more, we have to give more." ”

"Of course, I agree with you, Mr. Gu." The middle-aged wealthy businessman said loudly, "We definitely have this responsibility. ”

"yes." An actress also agreed, and the crowd around them nodded, "That's right." "We can't let this world get any worse."

Gu Jun looked at them and said: "Our team is exploring feasible solutions, and the biggest problem is where the money will come from, so we need to raise enough money to push it like a snowball, give people confidence and gather strength." ”

He paused, and said more solemnly: "Everyone, I sincerely invite you to sign up to join this project. We may start as a Foundation, and the plan has not yet been decided, so we can make more appropriate adjustments, and once the first phase of the operation begins, it may require you to put 15% of your annual income into it. ”

These men and women, who were still nodding enthusiastically just now, seemed to be stunned, and their voices stopped.

"Mr. Gu, you mean...... 15% annual income dedicated to this project? Do we have to pay other taxes, and we have to raise our taxes? ”

"Yes, we get more, we have to give more."

Gu Jun noticed that the faces changed slightly.

Even star actors who know how to act very well can't hide the embarrassment in their eyes.
