"Thank you for your Melon Baby Fund, Mr. Qin. Your fund saved my baby's life." The man said gratefully, and the woman holding the child nodded in thanks.
Qin Shiou understood that the couple's children had been benefited from his Melon Baby Fund and came here to thank him.
Sure enough, the man then introduced himself. His name was Clayson Frank. His son was born four months ago. As a result, he suffered from lung failure, which required high medical expenses.
Some people may be wondering, isn¡¯t it said that Canada implements a free medical care system? So why do people need to pay for medical treatment, especially for babies?
Indeed, Canada implements a free medical system. All expenses incurred by the bull in the hospital are free, including food during hospitalization. But there is a premise, that is, if you want to enjoy this benefit, you have to pay taxes and buy compulsory medical insurance, which costs about CAD 500 per person per year.
Qin Shiou initially thought that the Claysons did not pay for this medical insurance. This thing is directly linked to welfare. If you have a job, the company pays it. If you don't have a job, you have to pay it yourself.
If you don¡¯t have a job, it is not practical to buy insurance in Canada, because what people want to buy is not one kind of insurance, but a bunch of them: such as medical insurance, education insurance, unemployment insurance, pension insurance, car insurance, residential insurance, etc., one insurance CAD$500 is not much, but what about ten portions?
So as Qin Shiou learns more and more about Canada, he believes that this is not a paradise for ordinary people. Of course, as long as you have a skill and a job to make money, you can live well in this country and enjoy its benefits. In this case, life here is still very enjoyable.
In the end, the Claysons explained that this was not the reason. They paid for medical insurance, and both of them had jobs that guaranteed income. The reason why they needed support from the Melon Baby Fund was Canada¡¯s medical system.
The matter comes back to Canada's medical system. Qin Shiou has studied this issue. Last year, Omar, a small town fisherman, was diagnosed with bladder cancer. They went to St. John's to protest because of this. At that time, he was unlucky enough to be elected as the leader. Woolen cloth.
Clayson¡¯s children suffered from the same problem as Omar, which was that hospitals were overcrowded and they needed to make appointments.
But isn¡¯t this nonsense? The child's lungs have failed and he will not survive without the ventilator. How can he make an appointment and wait? But Canada¡¯s medical system is like this. There are children who are in a hurry for surgery, and they have to make an appointment.
¡°Obviously, making an appointment was not possible, so the Claysons thought of another way, asking a private doctor for treatment.
The problem is, private doctors can work overtime to perform surgeries, but the surgery fees and drug fees are very expensive - if you treat your patient with a private doctor, you will not enjoy free medical care. An operation on the child would cost close to 20,000 Canadian dollars, and the couple did not have that much money
Finally, they applied for assistance from the Melon Baby Fund - the fund that Qin Shiou won last year after he participated in the Northumberland Strait Winter Swimming Crossing Competition and won the championship. In fact, all he owned was the naming rights, and this fund was mostly funded by social donations. Success, he only invested 200,000 Canadian dollars in it.
After some surgery, the child returned to health, and now the couple came here to express their gratitude to Qin Shiou.
Inviting the Claysons into the house, Qin Shiou introduced them to the composition of the fund, and finally said sincerely: "So, you should not thank me, you should thank the society."
Clayson said: "Yes, Mr. Qin, we need to thank all the kind people in society. But what helps us the most is the fund in your name. You saved us. Thank you so much."
As he said that, he opened his backpack, which contained the gifts they bought.
Qin Shiou would be pretentious if he continued to be polite. He patted Clayson on the shoulder and said, "OK, I will accept your thanks, but I will never accept the gift. Of course, I have other requirements for you. I hope that if If you encounter someone who needs help, please lend a helping hand.¡±
The Claysons wanted him to accept the gift. How could Qin Shiou do this? He called Wei Ni and asked her to come back for dinner at noon, and then treated them to a seafood meal.
This made Mr. and Mrs. Clayson very embarrassed. They came to express their gratitude, but instead of saying thank you, they confiscated their gifts and even ate them a big meal.
As Daqin Seafood¡¯s reputation grows and more and more people know about it, the Claysons know how expensive the raw materials for their meal are.
When eating, Winnie put Little Melon on the baby stool. She could already sit and eat by herself without having to hold her every day.
The little girl is lying on the tableAbove, his big eyes stared at the little baby in Mrs. Clayson's arms across from him with an expression of interest.
Mrs. Clayson held her son in her arms and went over to tease her. The little girl stretched out her hand to grab it. This was her habit. When she encountered something she was curious about or liked, she would directly reach out and grab it.
Winnie quickly held on, she had already expected it, otherwise with the speed of the little girl's flying claws, Mrs. Clayson would have been hit today.
Pulling the girl's hand back, Wei Ni smiled softly and said, "You can't catch this one, this is your younger brother."
"Little Melon looked at Winnie, and then looked at the baby intently for a while, then she became inexplicably happy, clapped her hands and shouted: "Brother, brother"
Wei Ni and Qin Shiou were very surprised. In the past period of time, the little girl had not learned any new words since she learned to say "Daddy Mom". Today she actually learned the word "Brother".
After dinner, Father Qin took the little girl away and teased her to learn the pronunciation of "grandparents". The little girl continued to be happy, and then continued to call "brother".
After dinner, Qin Shiou and the Claysons were chatting before telling Wei Ni their situation. Wei Ni nodded after hearing this and said: "Oh my gosh, there are really more and more problems with Canada's universal health care system. Recently, I¡¯m also dealing with a difficult matter.¡±
Qin Shiou asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's Pastor Green and Mrs. Green." Winnie said sadly, "They are in trouble."
It turned out that Pastor Green and his wife were in poor health and both needed wheelchairs to move around. Qin Shiou knew that the old pastor had some health problems. When the church was rebuilt two years ago, his health was not good, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
Winnie said: "Dr. Odom believed that the pastor and his wife were not fit to live alone and suggested that they go to a nursing home. They accepted this and then went to St. John's Nursing Home to register. At that time, they went to It¡¯s the pastor¡¯s wife, because Pastor Green still has to receive treatment from Dr. Odom.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
