Chapter 13 Universal health insurance for all? Who is a developed country?
[It is said that with medical insurance, you don’t need to spend money to see a doctor! ]
[Free medical treatment? You must be kidding. You have been brainwashed by China! ]
[The BBC has said that medical treatment in China is very expensive! ]
How do you explain the price of this drug?
Recognition points +1000, recognition points +1000, recognition points +1000!
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that foreigners were very envious of China's medical system.
The recognition points are increasing rapidly!
It was enough for the next draw, but Chen Lu was not in a hurry to draw.
"Medicare?"
Chen Lu nodded: "Huaxia has universal medical insurance. You only need to spend a small amount of money to buy medical insurance. If you go to the hospital for treatment after you get sick, most of the expenses will be reimbursed. Each person only needs to pay a small part."
[Is China's medical insurance so powerful? I don't believe it! ]
[Even our Eagle sauce has not yet popularized universal health insurance, but China, a developing country, has it? Why?! ]
[We do have universal health insurance in Sakura, but individuals have to pay a very high percentage, and no matter whether it is a private or public hospital, reservations must be made in advance! ]
[BBC also said that Chinese people do not have medical insurance. It turns out that they are smearing. How dirty! ]
[Why do I feel more and more envious of China? 】
China not only has universal health insurance, but also has a very high reimbursement rate, up to 90%!
This is simply unimaginable in other countries.
A simple cold can cost hundreds of dollars to the United States, so they are not worthy of being compared with China!
Anna's eyes were full of surprise, although she did not think that China was a place of dirtiness and disorder.
But before coming to China, she always thought that China was very poor and that social security benefits were not perfect.
That's what everyone around her told her.
But after listening to Chen Lu's words, she realized that it was not what she had imagined at all!
Their Russian bears have free medical care for all the people, so seeing a doctor is free, but getting medicine does cost money, and the price is very expensive!
And you must go to designated hospitals for treatment, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy free medical care.
The problem this brings is that people flock to see doctors, but even after making appointments for one or two months, they are unable to see a doctor.
Designated hospitals often have outdated medical equipment and are unable to address the underlying problems.
A survey was conducted before, and only about one-third of people expressed satisfaction.
This number is already considered high among all countries in the world!
As for countries like the United States, they don’t even know what free medical care is. Treating a cold can cost half a month’s salary!
In comparison, China's medical insurance system is far ahead!
Just for this reason, China's social welfare is in no way inferior to that of other countries!
Two people came to the supermarket, but it was not open yet.
I saw a group of middle-aged women gathered at the entrance of the supermarket, each holding a bag in their hands.
Anna asked curiously, "Chen, what are they doing?"
Chen Lu smiled slightly: "They are waiting to grab the eggs."
【What are these middle-aged women doing here? 】
[That Chinese boy said, they were going to grab the eggs? ]
[Hahaha, China is indeed poor. Do we need to fight for eggs? ]
[It seems that the BBC is not entirely slanderous. It is true that Chinese people cannot eat eggs! ]
[In our country, the supply of eggs is still sufficient, but the price is a little bit higher. ]
【It’s better than not getting it at all! 】
Aunt Zhang was also in the line and waved at them: "Xiao Chen, are you bringing your girlfriend here to buy things?"
Chen Lu nodded: "Auntie, are you going to grab the eggs?"
"Yes, the supermarket is having a special sale today. It's only 1.99 per pound! Too cheap! I'll have to grab more later!"
[1.99 Chinese Yuan per pound? Are you kidding?] [Converted to British currency, that's 0.2 British pound per pound of eggs? Isn't that like free?]
[She must have heard it wrong! She is getting old and confused! Eggs can’t possibly be that cheap!]
[Yes, I just bought it at the supermarket last week. It cost 2 pounds per pound. I was so sad! ]
At nine o'clock, the supermarket is ready to open!
The aunties ran towards the egg section like wild horses!
Aunt Zhang didn't have time to explain and quickly ran into the supermarket.
Chinese aunties snatching things is always a beautiful sight!
Not only can you grab eggs, you can also grab gold!
Anna was stunned. How could these aunts, who looked to be in their 50s or 60s, run so fast?
The speed of his explosion is no less than that of the young man!
In their Mao Zedong, people are so fat when they are in their sixties that they have difficulty walking two steps, let alone running!
After they all went in, Chen Lu took Anna's hand and walked in calmly.
As soon as I entered the supermarket, I saw that the egg section was crowded.
It was difficult to squeeze through, it was such a bustling scene.
Fortunately, he didn't plan to buy eggs, he just looked at them from a distance.
"Chen, Huaxia's eggs are really only 1.99 per pound!" Anna asked, pointing at the sign.
"Yes, it's a special sale. Supermarkets hold promotions every once in a while."
"What's the normal price then?"
"I haven't been to the supermarket for a long time. It's probably just over two yuan, at least less than three yuan."
"It's really cheap!" Anna was shocked again.
To put it in perspective, the cheapest eggs in Russia cost ten yuan per pound.
In most cases, it costs more than ten yuan per kilogram, which is a price difference of six or seven times!
[The normal price is three yuan per pound? I seriously suspect this Chinese boy is lying! ]
[Are you blind? It's clearly written on the sign! ]
[Fuck! Why does it cost two British pounds to buy a pound of eggs?]
[Shit! We in the US are even more outrageous than you! When the price was the highest, one egg cost one US dollar! ]
[I finally understand why they are fighting over the eggs. If they are so cheap, I would also fight over them! ]
[And you can see the shelves are full of eggs. China has no shortage of eggs! ]
[The BBC is talking nonsense again. Can you please stop smearing China? ]
"Chen, do we want to buy something to take back?" Anna tugged at the corner of Chen Lu's clothes.
He smiled helplessly: "Do you think you can beat the old lady in robbing? Besides, there's no need to rob. If you want to eat eggs, you can buy them anytime. Just buy some on the way back."
"Then let's go buy wallpaper!"
Anna took Chen Lu's arm.
This sweet couple attracted countless people's attention.
Not only because Anna is a foreigner, but also because of her appearance, she is so beautiful.
She finally chose a pink wallpaper, which was full of girlishness.
When you get back, you can put up wallpaper all over the room.
Anna also bought some small things that she had never seen in Maoxiong.
"Anna, let's go buy some fruit."
The doctor just told me that eating more fruits to supplement vitamins can speed up the healing of oral ulcers.
“Will the fruit be expensive?”
"No, Chinese fruit is very cheap."
