The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 182

Liu Jianguo: "Mom and Dad, since we bought pension insurance, let's also buy medical insurance together."

"What's the matter with this medical insurance?"

Liu Jianguo: "I have bought medical insurance, and I can get reimbursed for medical treatment and hospitalization in the future, just like those retirees in the city."

"Ah, really?"

"It's true. This person eats whole grains, and there is no one who doesn't get sick. I know that people in our village used to carry or dig some medicine to deal with it when they got sick. It's not because they don't want to see a doctor, but because they are poor. Money to see a doctor. Now it’s all right, the state will spend money to reimburse us for medical expenses, as long as you have participated in the new rural cooperative medical insurance and bought medical insurance.”

"What is this new... what is new?"

Liu Jianguo: "Hey, this new rural cooperative medical system is a good thing...Liu Li, play the video and watch the promotional video."

"Okay."

Images and subtitles reappeared on the wall.

……

"New rural cooperative medical care (hereinafter referred to as "new rural cooperative medical care") refers to a medical mutual aid system for farmers that is organized, guided, and supported by the government. Raise funds through individual payment, collective support and government funding...

In October 2002, China clearly stated that governments at all levels should actively guide farmers to establish a new type of rural cooperative medical system focusing on overall planning of serious diseases. In 10, China made an important strategic plan to deepen the reform of the medical and health system, and established the new rural cooperation as the basic medical security system in rural areas.

"Currently many rural areas have developed cooperative medical care, which has won the hearts of the people, and the people call it a "popular project" and a "virtuous government".With the continuous development of our country's economy and society, more and more people have begun to realize that the "three rural issues" are fundamental issues related to the overall situation of the party and the country.Without solving the problem of farmers' medical security, it is impossible to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is impossible to talk about the complete establishment of a modern society.A lot of theoretical research and practical experience have also shown that it is imperative to establish a new type of cooperative medical system in rural areas.

The new rural cooperative medical system has been piloted in some counties (cities) across the country since 2003, and will gradually achieve basic coverage by 2010.

In October 2002, the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Further Strengthening Rural Health Work" clearly stated: "We must gradually establish a new rural cooperative medical system focusing on overall planning of serious diseases",
"By 2010, the new rural cooperative medical system should basically cover rural residents."

.........

"Since 2003, the central finance has arranged cooperative medical subsidy funds for farmers participating in the new cooperative medical care in the central and western regions at an annual per capita rate of 10 yuan. Yuan", "Farmers' performance of payment obligations in order to participate in cooperative medical care and resist disease risks cannot be regarded as increasing the burden on farmers."

This is the first time in the history of our country that the government has made a large-scale investment in solving the basic medical and health problems of farmers.Since 2003, based on the principle of multi-party financing and farmers' voluntary participation, the pilot areas of the new rural cooperative medical care have been increasing continuously. Through the experience summarization of the pilot areas, a solid foundation has been created for the comprehensive development of the new rural cooperative medical care throughout the country in the future. Based on theory and practice, as of December 2004, a total of 12 counties across the country participated in the new rural cooperative medical care, with 310 million households and 1945 million farmers participating, and the participation rate reached 6899%.According to the requirements of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the coverage of the new rural cooperative medical care will reach more than 72.6% of the rural areas by 2010. "

Li Fumin: "Jianguo, I understand. This is the state's care for our farmers. We want our farmers to be able to afford medical treatment."

Liu Jianguo: "Yes. Dad."

Li Fumin: "Then how much will we pay for this medical insurance?"

Liu Jianguo: "I learned about the standards in our place. Excluding state subsidies and collective contributions, individuals only need to pay 20 yuan to manage it for a year. If you are sick and hospitalized during this year, you have to reimburse part of it and bear part of it yourself. , which greatly reduces the burden..."

"What? Only 20 yuan?"

Xiao Guangwei: "Yes, 20 yuan, one year, continue to buy next year, continue to enjoy reimbursement."

There was another gasp from below.

20 yuan for a year?
What a great thing!

People in Qingfeng Village have been shocked by countless good news tonight.

Xiao Guangwei: "After research, the village committee decided to take the matter of the new rural medical system as the first major matter, and strive to buy it for everyone in the village before New Year's Day."

"So fast? Has anyone bought it from other villages?"

"I haven't heard of anyone buying it in the village?"

Dad Yao: "The town sent out promotional materials. I took it back and asked my sister, and they prepared so many explanations for us..."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

"Secretary Xiao, Director Wang, let's wait and see what the villagers say..."

Xiao Guangwei: "Since there is such a good policy, why wait and see, our Qingfeng Village should not be left behind."

Li Fugui: "Yes, good things must be done quickly. I agree. Isn't it just 20 yuan? You can get out after a squeeze. Who guarantees that you won't get sick?"

Villager Ding: "I am in good health. I have never taken medicine, so I won't buy it?"

"Is your baby reluctant to part with 20 yuan?"

"Pig butcher, my family is no better than yours. You have crafts, and now you are a security committee member with income. My family has a large population. The old and the young add up to seven or eight people. One person is 20 yuan, and eight people is one hundred and sixty. It's not a small sum. I just raised funds to repair the factory, so what kind of insurance can the family afford to buy?
If you don't get sick, isn't the money paid for nothing? "

This little abacus is clanging loudly.

Many villagers below agreed: "Yes, yes."

"Secretary Xiao, it's voluntary, so it's okay if we don't buy it?"

Xiao Guangwei: "It is based on the principle of voluntariness, but I hope that everyone can enjoy these preferential policies...so..."

"The policy is good, and we support it, but..."

Zhu Xia tugged at Xiao Guangwei's sleeve, "Secretary Xiao, don't worry, there is still a process for everyone to accept new things."

Xiao Guangwei realized that he was a little too hasty, and said: "These videos are for everyone to watch today, just to let everyone know what good policies are available. It is related to our vital interests. Regarding the purchase of endowment insurance and medical insurance, I think everyone should pay attention to it. Go back and discuss it with your family members! Don’t be in a hurry for a few days, let’s learn this today, it’s getting late, let’s go back and rest first.”

"Okay, let's go back."

"It's gone. It's gone."

What I learned tonight is enough for everyone to think about it all night.
