Chapter 59: No Profit Can't Be Early

"Euthanasia can reduce pension expenses, can help reduce the financial burden on the patient's family, and can also allow many people in need to obtain various organs needed for surgery.

Because there were only the two of them at the scene, Fang Xiu didn't have too many scruples when he spoke, and he didn't mention anything about alleviating the patient's pain.

De Leon patiently explained to Fang Xiu, "Indeed, there are individual states in the United States that have passed euthanasia bills, and Oregon signed the document as early as 1997, becoming the first place in the world to approve euthanasia!" But the bill still faces significant resistance. ”

"Oh? Where does this resistance come from? Fang Xiu continued to ask, if he could push this bill to land, then there would be a new wave of cultivation skyrocketing.

"First of all, the pharmaceutical group, those patients who need euthanasia often need to spend a lot of medical care costs, these people are a rich gold mine in the eyes of the pharmaceutical group!"

"There is nothing better for pharmaceutical groups than patients who need long-term treatment, and euthanasia will inevitably cost them a lot of these resources."

In the eyes of the pharmaceutical group, those unfortunate patients are just a resource to make a profit, and they don't care how painful these people are lying in the hospital bed, as long as they consume a lot of medicine every day.

And even if these patients have medical malpractice, few people will hold them accountable, is there a better resource in the world?

Therefore, pharmaceutical groups regard these patients who urgently need euthanasia to save themselves as treasures, and they will inevitably try their best to prevent the introduction of relevant bills.

Pharmaceutical groups are one of the most influential forces in the United States, and some of the bills they want to pass may not be achievable, but the bills they want to prevent will almost certainly not be passed.

"I see." Fang Xiu nodded, as if digesting De Leon's words.

He reached for his teacup, but suddenly stopped again, as if he had suddenly thought of something, "But it's good for insurance companies to introduce a similar bill, right?" Is the influence of insurance companies smaller than that of pharmaceutical groups? ”

It is easy to understand that the pharmaceutical group receives a large amount of medical expenses, surgery fees, consumables fees, nursing fees, and equipment usage fees from these patients......

Where does all this money come from? It certainly doesn't come out of thin air, and a large part of the cost will inevitably be paid by the insurance company.

From the perspective of the interests of the insurance company, they definitely hope that more and more people will buy insurance, and the insurance premiums will be higher and higher, but the insurance money paid is better and less.

Hospital groups see these patients as rich gold mines, but in the eyes of insurance companies, these people are a black hole that swallows everything, and they will inevitably be eager to get rid of this huge burden and reduce the cost of insurance money.

"Yes, the biggest invisible supporters of the euthanasia bill are the insurance groups, and they have had many games with the pharmaceutical groups around this bill!" De Leon confirmed Fang Xiu's guess.

"Both groups have their own supporters, and the church supports the pharmaceutical group because in their view euthanasia is tantamount to suicide, which is certainly against the teachings."

"The military-industrial complex supports insurance companies, believing that if euthanasia is implemented, the government will spend the savings on them."

"It also helps to reduce the soldiers' fear of war, and even the strongest soldiers, when they see the disabled soldiers who are wailing in the hospital bed and begging for death, they will have a fear of war; If these disabled soldiers could die in time, there would be no such trouble! ”

Hearing this, Fang Xiu couldn't help but laugh, he had already guessed that if the bill was really passed, it was estimated that the disabled soldiers who didn't want to die would also sign their names on the relevant documents, right?

"What about you, what is your attitude towards this proposal? For or against? Fang Xiu asked.

"Me? Naturally, people like me would not support or oppose a major force for something that has nothing to do with their own interests. De Leon looked sincere, as an animal of interest, he didn't do anything that was not beneficial.

"But I occasionally feel that it is actually good for me to push the bill to land! Because how to allocate the saved funds will definitely become a hot topic of discussion, and those who are competing for funds will have to take advantage of it in order to gain my support! ”

"And I'm not young anymore, although I've always been healthy, but who can guarantee that there won't be accidents? Maybe I'll need a new organ at some point. ”

"It is true that I can get the adapter officer through some legal channels earlier than others, but in the face of life, who would dislike too many alternatives?"

In public, Mr. de Leon is a good man who is passionate about philanthropy, who would have thought that such cold words could come out of his mouth?

In De Leon's mind, those patients who need urgent treatment are just the weight of his competing interests, and the arsenal of equipment to prolong his health and life.

Maybe this is life, from ancient times to the present, no matter how good the superficial work is, the upper class people are the same indifferent and ruthless to others.

"So you didn't come forward to push the bill because you didn't want to provoke the pharmaceutical group?" Fang Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, whether it was cultivating immortals or demons, the upper class was much more convenient than ordinary people.

If he dresses as De Leon, he only needs to push a few bills to pass, and he can easily be promoted to the Jindan boss, and if you want to kill people, you have to look at them.

"The risks are not proportional to the benefits, so they are not cost-effective." De Leon did not deny this, and politicians are never profitable.

"So if you slightly amend the bill to reduce the risk to a manageable level, can you push the bill through the parliament?" Fang Xiu recalled the content of the draft he had seen in the newspaper and found a suitable breakthrough point.

"There is too much resistance to the full implementation of euthanasia, and it may be much easier to open a small opening! For example, we can narrow it down to terminally ill patients who have only a few months to live and are suffering a lot! In this case, the profit lost by the pharmaceutical group is much smaller! ”

It is also very beneficial to operate the other party's cultivation in this way, he is now only the third layer of the Qi refining period, and the cultivation he can absorb is limited, if a large number of patients die because of him in a short period of time, he will be blown up.

Restricting the number of patients is tantamount to controlling the rate and number of deaths, and the increase in repair brought about by the bill will also become a trickle.

As for the improvement of cultivation in the future, it is enough to let De Leon and them submit a new proposal, and with the first time, it will definitely be much easier to do it a second time.
