Chapter 260 Medical Insurance
"Free medical care!"
Suddenly, as soon as these words came out, all the doctors fell silent.
Naturally, they had already heard that Fan Zheng had conceived of free medical care in the court, which was a grand occasion that doctors dreamed of, and they couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng with enthusiasm at the moment.
"Brother Fan think twice!" Su Dun frowned.
Through his father, he had a detailed understanding of the court disputes, and naturally knew that it was impossible to implement free medical care at present.
"In fact, the doctor has already tried free medical treatment, and you have ever remembered the Luoyang epidemic." Fan Zheng asked.
A group of doctors nodded one after another, the Luoyang epidemic is the most glorious milestone for doctors, doctors took over the entire Luoyang, free treatment of smallpox, it took only three months to calm the epidemic, it can be said that the effect is remarkable.
"The Luoyang epidemic is a special time, and the consequences are also extremely serious." Su Dun smiled bitterly.
The three-month period of free medical care during the Luoyang epidemic directly dragged down the finances of Luoyang Prefecture, and if free medical care was implemented in the Great Song Dynasty, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty would probably be difficult to support for three months.
Yang Jie also nodded and said, "Free medical care may be realized one day, but with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to achieve it at all." ”
Yang Jie knows very well that the medical staff needs an astronomical amount of medicinal materials every day, and even if the doctor does not make money, no one can afford the cost of medicine alone.
"Free and compulsory education is not possible at the moment, and neither can free health care."
Qian Yi also objected to it, if Fan Zheng forcibly implemented free medical care, it would definitely drag the doctors into the abyss, but it was not a medical workshop that could appease the doctors.
A group of doctors chimed in.
However, Fan Zheng nodded and said: "What you mean Fan understands that it cannot be achieved at present, it is not that we are indifferent, free compulsory education needs to be divided into three steps, and doctors need to advance step by step if they want to achieve free medical care, otherwise it can only be empty talk." ”
Qian Yi said proudly: "Now that the doctor is setting up hospitals in all cities in the world, I believe that it will not be long before it can be popularized in all cities in the world, and then the doctor may be one step ahead of the public school." ”
After the frantic expansion of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Tai Hospital, in two years, hospitals have been established in the main cities of the Great Song Dynasty, and now they are expanding to a number of county seats.
And the compulsory education of the whole city has only opened the city, and if you want to cover the cities of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it in another ten years.
Su Dun suddenly interjected: "Since the plague is treated for free, diseases similar to the plague should also be treated for free, Su thinks that the free treatment of tuberculosis and leprosy can be carried out at the same time, and we can be regarded as taking the first step in free medical treatment." ”
"Tuberculosis and leprosy?"
The healers breathed a sigh of relief,
Both of these diseases are highly contagious, and the symptoms are very similar to those of the plague, and doctors have been planning to implement them for a long time.
Nowadays, the strength of doctors has increased greatly, and doctors can afford only these two types of infectious diseases.
Fan Zheng nodded, tuberculosis is the tuberculosis of later generations is extremely difficult, and the same is true of leprosy, if it is treated for free, the harm of these two diseases will definitely be minimized.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, doctors can take the first step, there will be a second step in the future, the third step, Yang believes that with the development of doctors, there will be more and more diseases included in the free medical treatment of doctors, as long as doctors continue to develop, free medical care will be realized step by step." Fan Zhenglang said.
The hearts of the doctors were excited, and if that day came, what a grand occasion the doctors would be.
Qian Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Fan Zheng did not rush forward, and chose to implement free medical care step by step, so that he could rest easy.
"There is another important reason why Fan insists on gradually implementing free medical care, that is, the crisis of doctors has appeared." Fan Zheng suddenly said solemnly.
"The doctor's crisis?"
A group of doctors looked at each other, the doctors are now in full swing, how can there be a crisis.
"You are all good doctors in the world, I don't know if you have noticed, with the prosperity of doctors, our medical skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and there are more and more diseases that can be cured, but the cost of medical treatment has been increasing, and the people are constantly complaining about it." Fan Zheng looked at the group of healers and asked.
"It's true, and many patients complain about it."
The doctors nodded one after another, they had all experienced such things themselves, but they didn't take them to heart.
Yang Jie nodded helplessly: "This is also a matter of no way, now in order to improve the cure rate as much as possible, it is necessary to repeatedly disinfect, as well as sanitize medical equipment, plus the promotion of surgery, medical costs have increased sharply." ”
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "It is an irreversible fact that the medical cost has increased significantly, the doctor needs to support his family, and the doctor needs to invest more money in the study of medical skills, which all require money, although the doctor can get a lot of income from medicine, but only a small part of the source is the patient's medical expenses." ”
Nowadays, doctors use the income of alcohol, toilet water, and so on to maintain the expansion of the doctors, but in fact, the hospital does not make much money from medical expenses.
Before the doctors changed the law, the cost of medication for patients was indeed not high, but many diseases could not be cured at all.
Nowadays, many diseases have been cured, and the cost of medical treatment has increased significantly, but the medicine can cure the disease.
"This is just the beginning, and even with the further development of medical skills in the future, more advanced medical skills need to be used, and medical costs will further increase. Fan Zheng said solemnly.
Before that, the reputation of the doctor was excellent, the master of the apricot forest, the hanging pot helped the world, and the court and the opposition had the title of a good doctor if they were not good looks.
The faces of the healers were suddenly astonishing, not to mention the future, they had heard a lot of such words now.
However, in fact, although today's doctors are expensive, the cure rate of the disease is much higher than a few years ago, but the patients do not care about you, they are already extremely uncomfortable when they are sick, and they are naturally in a bad mood when they bear the high medical costs.
"In the long run, the reputation of doctors will decline sharply, the conflict between doctors and patients will increase significantly, and doctors will face a huge crisis." Fan Zheng said unequivocally.
Qian Yi sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said: "If you want to solve this problem, unless you have free medical treatment, this is impossible to achieve." ”
It is impossible to satisfy everyone unless they are not allowed to spend money.
However, Fan Zheng's words changed and said: "Of course, free medical care cannot be realized, but doctors are not without a way to transition? ”
"The Law of Transition?"
Qian Yi couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that Fan Zheng hadn't given up on free medical care.
"How?" Yang Jie was also puzzled.
"Medicare!" Fan Zheng said word by word.
