The fact that Hengyue City is planning to implement free medical care for all has alarmed the Ministry and Provincial Party Committee.
Governor Gong Hui was furious and ordered the Hengyue Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to report to the superior immediately.
After being reprimanded on the phone, Ying Zhaohui turned pale with fright. He rushed to Xu Yishan's office in a hurry, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Secretary Xu, brake quickly, something big will happen."
Xu Yishan looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Mayor Ying, why are you panicking? What's the matter, please speak slowly."
Ying Zhaohui then recounted the province's firm opposition to Hengyue City's implementation of universal free medical care, and he sighed: "Actually, I also think it's too hasty."
When Xu Yishan heard the words, his heart suddenly became angry. But he held back and asked coldly, "Are you in a hurry? I think it's too late, but you still think it's too urgent?"
Ying Zhaohui said with a sneer: "We pay attention to the practice of a game of chess across the country. Now that we implement free medical care for all, what will comrades in other cities and provinces think of us? Unconventional? Or grandstanding?"
Xu Yishan said disdainfully: "I don't care what they think. I think that as long as the common people get benefits, it is a good policy. Besides, we have the ability now. Laoying, before I say anything else, I will ask you, do you agree or not? ?¡±
Ying Zhaohui hesitated and said: "From the bottom of my heart, I agree with both hands. But, Secretary Xu, this matter may not be as simple as you and I think. Think about it, we all know that the whole country will implement medical treatment. Free is completely powerful, but why hasn¡¯t it been implemented? Isn¡¯t there a problem here?¡±
"Yes. The question is very simple. Isn't it the benefit?" Xu Yishan clarified the mystery.
"So, we decided to implement the free medical policy without the consent of the higher authorities. Isn't it a little impulsive?"
Xu Yishan said helplessly: "Okay, Mayor Ying, what do you think we should do next?"
"Report to the province and seek support from the higher authorities." Ying Zhaohui gritted his teeth and said, "It's best to win the pilot unit. This way at least the risk will be much less."
Xu Yishan could only agree. Although he has made sufficient preparations, Hengyue City has found a way to solve the financial problem on its own when it comes to implementing free medical care. However, after all, the reason for the superior leadership is involved, and it will be difficult to implement the plan if it is not explained clearly.
Deputy Mayor Zhang, who is in charge of teaching hygiene, has already revealed the truth. Medical income is one of the most important pillars of local fiscal revenue. Although the medical insurance policy is in full bloom, it is natural to understand it. The so-called medical insurance is nothing more than ten yuan of medicine, which is sold to patients at an additional price of fifty yuan. Then use the medical insurance to reimburse 30 yuan, in fact, the patient has to pay 10 yuan more.
Medical insurance is a mirror, reflecting many ups and downs.
It is precisely because Xu Yishan has seen through it that he decided to implement real free medical care in Hengyue City.
He also knows that this road is difficult to walk, and there will be great resistance. But he couldn't take care of it anymore. If the policy was implemented one day late, I don't know how many people will die because of economic reasons. It is also unknown how many families will be pushed into extreme poverty.
He is a child from a farming family, and he knows that what ordinary people fear most in their lives is getting sick. According to the current medical system, no matter how rich a family is, as long as one member of the family is seriously ill, the family's decades of savings may be wiped out within a few days.
For patients without savings, the only way out is to wait for death.
In his view, this is a great insult and disrespect to human nature. He has always firmly believed that every life deserves to be respected. regardless of origin.
He knew that the main reason why free medical care could not be implemented was that no one stood up and shouted.
Policies are formulated by people in the system, and it is precisely those in the system who are eligible to enjoy a medical security system that is not free, but better than free. Chinese people have a very remarkable feature. When their own interests are not infringed, they will be selectively blind and deaf to things that infringe on the interests of others.
On the other hand, medical income has indeed played a role in strengthening local finances. This has promoted the dirty behavior of the government to issue income-generating targets to medical institutions at all levels every year. In the eyes of some people, the lives of ordinary people are not worthy of respect. What they see in their eyes is the little money that ordinary people have accumulated through hard work throughout their lives.
A government is worthy of being respected only when it respects everyone's life, education and pension. On the contrary, no amount of beautiful lies can cover up their despicable deeds.
Xu Yishan was almost accusing, his voice was deep and sad, his eyes were red again as he spoke.
Secretary Lu listened to his report steadily. Xu YishanIn the province, instead of going to Governor Gong's office, he went straight to Secretary Lu.
After the report was over, Secretary Lu sighed slowly and said, "Yishan, there are some things that cannot be explained in words."
As soon as Secretary Lu said these words, Xu Yishan felt a chill in his heart.
"Your idea is correct, it is correct, and it is worthy of praise." Secretary Lu nodded and said: "The things you said have always been considered by the leaders. Our economy has indeed made great progress over the years, but , Our population base is also in a leading position in the world."
Xu Yishan couldn't help but interjected and said: "The family is big and the business is big."
"That's right. At the same time, there are many problems." Secretary Lu corrected him and said: "This is a huge systematic project, and it cannot be completed overnight. It takes time and opportunity. I think, when the time is right, we must will go this way.¡±
At the request of Secretary Lu, the Ministry and Provincial Party Committee held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee on the implementation of free medical care in Hengyue City. Xu Yishan and Ying Zhaohui attended.
?Governor Gong was furious again at the meeting, criticizing Hengyue City for grandstanding, disrupting public opinion, and seriously violating a game of chess. A deep inspection must be made to immediately stop the free medical treatment.
He slapped his palm on the table with some fury, and shouted: "You Hengyue City, don't think that with a small achievement, there is no provincial party committee and provincial government in your eyes."
Xu Yishan lowered his head and said nothing.
Ying Zhaohui fidgeted and hesitated to speak several times.
Governor Gong finished his speech, and other members of the Standing Committee expressed their opinions to varying degrees. Without exception, there are very few people who support Xu Yishan.
The only one who defended Xu Yishan was Hu Jin. Hu Jin seemed to be deliberately enlivening the atmosphere. He looked around with a smile and said, "Everyone, please be safe and don't be angry. I think it is more appropriate to divide the situation in Hengyue City into two parts."
Governor Gong snorted coldly, "Commissioner Hu, can the organizational principles be divided into two?"
Hu Jin was so blocked by one sentence that he choked his words in his throat and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Everyone, I think the opinion of Comrade Xu Yishan of Hengyue City is worthy of everyone's consideration. As far as I know, the free medical care in Hengyue City has been widely known to everyone. .If we brake now, we will reach out and slap ourselves in the face. Who does Comrade Yishan represent? Isn¡¯t it the party and the government? "
As soon as these words came out, the leaders present began to look at each other in blank dismay.
