Chapter 537: Dragon Country's Hidden Foreign Exchange Exposed, the US Federal Reserve Will Fight to the Death
The news of universal free medical care is like dropping a stone in the center of a calm lake, causing ripples to spread around.
The moment Chen Xing heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds.
How long has it been since?
Less than three days!
And his suggestion was actually adopted!
Hierarchical medical care and designated medical care can greatly avoid the waste of medical resources.
Why do you say this?
If no restrictions are imposed, who wouldn’t want to see a doctor in a well-known tertiary hospital?
If everyone with a cold or fever went to life-saving hospitals like Huaxi and Xiehe to see a doctor, it would easily lead to a medical shortage.
With graded medical care and designated medical care, no one with any brains would choose well-known tertiary hospitals such as Huaxi and Xiehe, which are difficult to get an appointment. After all, you have to wait for a year and a half to register, and colds and fevers will be cured long ago.
And there is a supplement at the end of the announcement that if the capacity is exceeded, the hospital can request transfer.
In other words, people can definitely choose a hospital that is close to them. If it is beyond the capacity of this hospital, they can transfer to a better hospital and enjoy free medical rights.
“Is ten trillion really enough?”
Chen Xing couldn't help but think.
Ten trillion may seem like a lot, but don’t forget that there are 1.3 billion people in the Dragon Kingdom. When divided equally, it seems that each person only has less than 10,000 yuan.
After pondering.
He thought of a possibility.
"It should be the initial amount, and the final amount is definitely not just 10 trillion."
Just as Chen Xing thought, 10 trillion is only the initial amount for the pilot. When it is actually implemented, it will be conservatively more than 30 trillion, which will extremely test the finances of the Dragon Kingdom.
Of course.
In addition to financial support, sufficient medical personnel are also needed.
After the Finance and Medical Insurance Bureau jointly issued a document, the Ministry of Education also issued a document.
[In order to further strengthen the construction of my country's medical and health system and improve the level of primary medical services, starting from 2016, my country will significantly expand the enrollment of students in the medical field. The relevant matters are hereby announced as follows:
1. Background of enrollment expansion: With the increasing social demand for medical and health services, primary medical institutions are facing severe challenges such as talent shortage and surge in patients.
In order to strengthen the construction of grassroots medical and health teams and respond to universal free medical care, the Ministry of Education decided to expand the enrollment of students in the medical field, especially for rural one-way free undergraduate medical students.
2. Enrollment expansion: Starting from 2016, all medical colleges have significantly expanded their enrollment. The total enrollment is expected to be 94,000, of which 20,000 are one-way free undergraduate medical students.
The enrollment majors mainly cover clinical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and other medical majors to meet the needs of primary medical institutions for medical talents.
3. Application conditions: Rural one-way free undergraduate medical students must have rural household registration. The household registration of themselves and their father or mother or legal guardian must be in rural areas. Specific requirements may vary from region to region. There are no additional requirements for other expanded enrollment students.
4. Training and employment: Admitted rural one-way free undergraduate medical students will be exempted from tuition fees and accommodation fees during their studies at school, and will receive appropriate subsidies for living expenses.
After graduation, students are required to find employment in designated primary medical and health institutions in accordance with the agreement and work continuously for a certain number of years.
Other expanded enrollment students can make their own arrangements or follow the school's allocation.
We sincerely welcome candidates who are interested in joining the medical and health care industry to actively apply and jointly contribute to improving the level of primary medical services in our country! ]
Not only was the Ministry of Education issued a document, but the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development also issued a document. The announcement contained the words "regardless of cost", indicating that it will vigorously promote the construction of medical institutions across the country.
Multiple departments collectively published an article, causing the "Free Medical Care for All" entry to have more than 100 million views, and countless netizens were discussing it intensely.
[Feng Xiaoxixi]: "The enrollment of medical students will be expanded, and the hospital will be expanded. Our mother is not playing tricks this time. She really wants to build free medical care for all!"
[Favorite Old Man Music]: "If we calculate the comprehensive construction in three years, the number of medical students to be expanded will be as high as 280,000. This does not include the expansion of medical schools. I predict that this round of enrollment expansion will bring millions of medical students into employment. "
[Xiaoxin sells crayons]: "It's great! It's great for us working in civil engineering! The enrollment of medical students has been expanded, and the hospital has been expanded. We civil engineering students don't have to worry about being unemployed. My brother Meng even signed up for civil engineering for me!"
[I am Xiaodai]: "With free medical care for all, ordinary people no longer have to save money for medical treatment. It can be clearly felt that our country is getting stronger little by little!"
No one expected that Long Guoguo would suddenly implement comprehensive free medical care.
You know, the Dragon Kingdom has a population of 1.3 billion. Even if each person only sees a doctor once a year, the cost is astronomical, which requires full financial support.
There are only a handful of countries in the world with a population of over 100 million that implement free medical care.
Among them, although the ancient Xiang Kingdom provides free medical care, it is actually selling dog meat as sheep's head.
Since 1947, the ancient Xiang Kingdom has implemented free medical care and written it into the constitution, stipulating that citizens can be exempted from registration fees, examination fees, diagnosis fees and other fees in public hospitals.
But in fact, free medical care in ancient Xiang Kingdom is not completely free, but partially exempted from medical and treatment costs.
Although public hospitals provide basic medical services, their resources are limited. Hundreds of thousands or millions of people need to share a hospital, and the equipment and service levels are not high.
Private hospitals occupy an important position in the Indian medical system and have better medical equipment and doctor resources. However, the costs are higher and most of them need to be paid out of pocket.
In summary, although Guxiangguo implemented free medical care, private hospitals were the main way for them to see a doctor and receive treatment due to extremely limited medical resources.
But this time, Longguo was different. It not only provided financial support, but also land support and talent support. It was truly committed to building free medical care for all people.
When ordinary people in Longguo cheered, many speculators began to panic and wanted to sell their houses.
Why do you say that free medical care will affect houses?
It's very simple. Buying a house is not just buying a house. It is also buying medical care, education and life.
The most basic requirement for a house is that it must have supporting facilities for life, such as convenience stores, bus stops and vegetable markets.
If there is nothing, then the house is worthless.
Once the basic living facilities are met, you can pursue medical care. The house close to the hospital will be more expensive than other houses in the same city. The second is education. For example, school district houses are also a plus.
Many speculators like to speculate on school district houses and medical houses, because these houses are not worried about selling and a lot of people need them.
If medical care is free, it is equivalent to averaging the gathered medical resources across the country. The "medical housing" in the hands of real estate speculators will definitely fall, and they need to deal with it urgently.
...
Washington, the United States.
Parliament Hill.
The news that Longguo spent 10 trillion to build universal free medical care reached the ears of Speaker Renato Marotta.
He was stunned at first, then he couldn't believe it, and finally felt incredible.
"It will soon be a country with a population of 1.4 billion people. What is Longguo thinking? It actually promotes free medical care!"
He was a little confused.
Isn't Longguo's economy not good?
Isn't Longguo's economy deflation?
How can it have the money to do this!
You must know that in an economic deflation environment, Longguo's fiscal pressure is very large.
Because people don't consume, Longguo can't collect taxes, so naturally the fiscal shock, all aspects have to tighten.
What many people don't know is that in fact, any product you buy, even a piece of chewing gum, is paying taxes to the country.
Those who have learned about the composition of commodity prices know that commodity prices are composed of production costs, circulation costs, profits and taxes.
If you want to build an aircraft carrier for the country, you don't need to smoke specially, you just need to increase consumption to pay taxes for the country.
Not only Renato Marotta, but also the head of the US Federal Reserve, Davic, and his father Clayton were stunned on the spot.
Does Longguo really have the economic strength to build free medical care for all people?
This question is entangled in the minds of all senior officials in Western countries.
You should know that Western developed countries can implement free medical care because they have a small population, abundant resources, or have accumulated an economic foundation through plunder.
For example, Norway not only has free medical care and free education, but also has high financial subsidies every month.
Why can it be free of charge and give money to the people? It's very simple.
Norway has a population of only more than 5 million.
And it has huge oil and natural gas reserves. It is the largest oil producer in Western Europe and the third largest oil exporter in the world.
The exploitation and export of these resources have brought huge economic income to Norway.
With a small population and abundant resources, it naturally has one of the best education, medical care and pension security in the world.
If the population of Longguo is only 50 million, it can also achieve the welfare of Norway.
But if there are only 50 million people, how can such a large territory be protected?
The monster house in East Asia is no joke. If they exchange geographical locations with Norway, they will probably have to have children like crazy to defend their territorial sovereignty.
...
New York, USA.
Federal Reserve Headquarters Building.
In the office of the chief economist, Wei Yan looked at the computer screen calmly, and the content on it was the international news that Longguo decided to implement universal free medical care.
Although the surface seemed calm, the heart was already turbulent.
He had to admire the great wisdom of his motherland, which actually thought of releasing water to the medical field and using this point to revitalize the economy.
Ordinary people are afraid of getting sick and dare not spend money. After the implementation of universal free medical care, this resistance disappeared.
And the most important thing is that after the implementation of free medical care, hospitals need to be greatly expanded, right?
Hospital expansion requires workers to build, and workers need to eat, so 10 trillion can be spread to various industries in a logical way.
With medical care as the center, it is mapped to all walks of life and breaks through consumption barriers. If he was not still in the US Federal Reserve office, Wei Yan would have wanted to give a thumbs up to the decision-makers of Longguo.
"I should speed up too."
Wei Yan muttered to himself.
Then, he stood up, picked up the documents and walked out of the office.
The information in his hand is enough to affect the global economy.
After in-depth understanding, Wei Yan also learned the truth about the financial crisis.
It turned out that the so-called financial crisis was just a means for the Jewish consortium to reap the wealth of the world.
The Asian financial crisis in 1997 was fueled by the United States.
It was also during this financial crisis that the two developed countries of Japan and South Korea completely became the "power bank" of the United States, continuously transfusing blood to the United States.
As for Thailand, which was originally expected to become a developed country, it can only survive by relying on the tourism industry.
"Dong Dong——"
Wei Yan knocked on the door of Davic's office.
The next second.
He pushed the door open.
When Davic saw that it was Wei Yan, he stood up quickly and asked anxiously: "Have you sorted out the bank customer information?"
"Everything is sorted out. Now we only need to detonate four banks to bankrupt 60% of American immigrants and significantly reduce the wealth of 20% of the American middle class. Then we will tighten the mid-to-high-end industries. After they become unemployed and become cheap labor, the Ministry of Labor can guide them to work in factories."
"Okay!"
Davich nodded heavily.
What does the United States lack now?
Industrial base!
How to develop the industrial base?
It's very simple, let people enter the factory and reactivate the industrial chain of low-end industries.
The current United States has become weak due to globalized trade, and a large number of low-level workers have become unemployed and become "rednecks". If the United States wants to recover low-end industrial orders, it must have corresponding production conditions.
But in today's United States, labor costs are extremely expensive.
After many discussions, Davic and Wei Yan decided to make overseas immigrants poor and make them cheap labor.
You must know that in capitalist countries, this trick is actually common.
No matter how good the economic conditions are, they will maintain a large number of unemployed people, because this way they can continue to exploit the lower-level people.
After checking, Davic handed the file back to Wei Yan and said, "I'll leave this to you. Call me if you encounter any resistance."
"..."
Wei Yan looked at the file and was stunned for a few seconds.
"Davich is so insidious. He doesn't want to be the villain, so he asked me to come forward."
Wei Yan could already foresee that if he pushed it in his name, those immigrants would definitely want to skin him alive.
After all, they traveled thousands of miles and tried every means to immigrate to the United States for a better life in the future. Now they are turned into cheap labor. Who wouldn't be angry?
"What's wrong?"
"Is there any difficulty?"
Seeing that Wei Yan was reluctant to take it, Davic asked knowingly.
"I..."
Wei Yan was about to reach out to take it, when a figure dressed in a hip skirt and OL uniform style suddenly walked into the office.
"Davich..."
The secretary was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that Wei Yan was also there.
Her eyes stopped at Wei Yan, who held out his hand and said quickly, "Since you have something to do, I'll go back first."
He was thinking of taking this opportunity to slip away, but Davic would not agree.
"We are all family, no need to avoid each other, after all, we still have things to talk about."
"By the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the secretary and said, "Is there anything?"
Seeing that Davic said so, the secretary also revealed all the information.
"There is a secret report from the Economic Administration Bureau. After Longguo announced that it would implement universal free medical care, they are settling a large amount of foreign exchange!"
"Settling a large amount of foreign exchange?"
Davich was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help but shudder and said, "Could it be that the account book is plug-in?"
"Yes!"
"How much is plug-in?"
"4 trillion US dollars!"
When the 4 trillion amount was said, Davic and Wei Yan widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief, and said in unison: "Longguo still has 4 trillion foreign exchange to be settled???"
