TCM Gaoyuan

Gao Yuan went back after the meeting. After the Zhangzhuang Health Center was contracted by employees, the people in Zhangzhuang obviously felt the rapid increase in medical expenses.Many letters of complaint were even sent to Gao Yuan, the old dean, and Gao Yuan also felt a headache.

At the same time, the business of Zhao Huanzhang, who practiced medicine on his own in Zhangzhuang, improved a lot. Many patients who disliked the high fees of the hospital came to him.

Zhao Huanzhang, who is already in his 60s, has faced a considerable workload.Although he sees a lot of patients every day, he doesn't make any money, and even takes some in it from time to time.

And what he did made the people in the hospital very dissatisfied, thinking that Zhao Huanzhang was fighting against them and robbing them of business.Some report letters were also sent to the county, and Gao Yuan was also actively helping him communicate.

It's just that Zhao Huanzhang can't be cured of all diseases. Many patients need to be checked or operated, so they can only go to the hospital.Just like what Gao Yuan said, many farmers couldn't afford the operation fee at all, and the two brothers of the Shen family were much harder-hearted than Zhao Huanzhang. If they didn't pay, they would absolutely refuse to see a doctor.

However, under the management and maintenance of the Shen brothers, the financial situation of the hospital has improved a lot, and the employees have received bonuses again, and everyone's face is full of smiles.The prestige of the two brothers in the hearts of the people is also steadily rising.

Zhao Huanzhang gradually became old and poor.

……

In the Chinese medicine hospital, Yan Xun went out to earn a side job again, and Gao Yuan didn't say anything about him.All kinds of new equipment have also started to be installed in the hospital. Gao Yuan can't suppress this trend, but he can only minimize the arms race.It's just that the new charging standard will inevitably cause more expenses for patients.

Fortunately, a large part of the patients in the county have units or factories, and the units help them reimburse them.It's just that the efficiency of the factory is getting worse and worse. Many patients say that the factory's reimbursement has been delayed.

Barefoot doctor is already a past tense ranking, and now rural doctors are called rural doctors.The countryside has gradually become dirty and messy again, with flies and mosquitoes flying all over the sky, and dung and water flow everywhere in rainy days, and no one cares about it.

The work of the epidemic prevention station came to a standstill for a while because of the delay in obtaining funds. The head of the epidemic prevention station joked that he might be the last director.The epidemic prevention work in rural areas has also slowed down, and now the injection fees for vaccinations have to be charged separately, so farmers are not so motivated to get vaccinated.

The maternal and child health care work in rural areas has also been affected. Although the midwives in each village are still working, no one is doing health care work, and there is no regular training and learning.According to the statistics of several impoverished counties, the infant mortality rate in the 80s was even higher than that in the 70s.

A series of questions were clearly in front of him, and Gao Yuan finally waited for the reply from above.

"Agreed to approve the option to pilot to explore the new rural cooperative medical care."

Of course, Gao Yuan and his county got the pilot spot, and the two places they chose were Zhangzhuang and Huoxiang.The preliminary plan is that farmers, collectives and the state jointly raise funds for cooperative medical care, but the specific proportions in it are not stipulated.

After a long period of negotiations and constant compromises, individual farmers finally contributed 10 yuan per year. This figure is still a heavy burden on farmers, but Gao Yuan has done his best.

After the notice was issued, I thought there would be joy and encouragement, but the opinions of the farmers were very strong, and the number of people who were willing to participate in the insurance was very small. The cooperative medical care fell into a deadlock from the very beginning.

In desperation, Gao Yuan had no choice but to entrust the work of the hospital to the vice president. He left his job without pay and went to the countryside. He went from village to village, visited each family, and continued to persuade and do work.

Even with Gao Yuan's status and prestige in the minds of the masses, it is difficult to push this matter forward quickly.Many families are only willing to enroll their children in the cooperative medical care, thinking that they are adults, less sick, and even if they are sick, they can get better after a while, and they are reluctant to spend the money.

Elderly people who are also prone to illness and have quite a lot of underlying diseases are more reluctant to participate in cooperative medical care.

The survey found that people generally think that the fees for fundraising are too high, and that medical treatment will still cost money in the future. They just say that the fees are less, not that they are all free. If you don’t get sick this year, the money will be wasted.

In addition, cooperative medical care can only be used in one's own hometown. Some people want to go out to earn a side job, so they can't use it.Even if I only go out for a few months, I still feel that I am in a panic.

So Gao Yuan tossed around for several times, and only [-]% of the people participated in the cooperative medical care, but at least this pilot project was started first.

……

"You don't want to name your clinic?" Gao Yuan beat his legs in Zhao Huanzhang's clinic. He ran too much during this time, and his legs couldn't bear it.

Zhao Huanzhang poured water for him: "What's the name? Sai Hua Tuo, or Sheng Bian Que?"

Gao Yuan looked at the water he poured, and he said: "The guests are here, why don't you make some tea and fool me with white water?"

Zhao Huanzhang poured water into the glass, shook it a little, then poured it away to wash away the dust, then he poured another glass and said: "I can't compare with you, the dean, I am only poor now. I can drink water, but I can’t afford tea.”

Gao Yuan's words were immediately blocked, and he didn't even have the mood to joke.

Seeing Gao Yuan's expression changed, Zhao Huanzhang smiled and said, "Why, are you starting to pity me? I don't need you to pity me. When I threw a lot of silver dollars on the stage to reward the actors, you didn't know where you were. They are planing food in the pit."

"I am also someone who has eaten and seen. If I eat abalone wing belly, I can eat simple food. After experiencing luxury and lust, I also have to experience poverty and indifference. This is life. Our family has been a landlord for many years and owes the local people Yes, I have to pay it back."

Gao Yuan looked at Zhao Huanzhang, Zhao Huanzhang always had a calm smile on his face, which was cleaner than his clothes.

Gao Yuan also relaxed a little: "The establishment of cooperative medical care may affect your business."

Zhao Huanzhang said: "That's a good thing. I wish I didn't have any patients here. Only then can we say that the cooperative medical care has really succeeded. But, with [-]% of the people now, can it really go on?"

Gao Yuan seemed very confident, pointing to the pile of registration forms, he said: "It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, and I have achieved [-]% in the beginning. Will it be difficult later? I believe it will get better and better. I Have this confidence. Cooperative medical care is not only for medical treatment, but also for epidemic prevention, maternal and child health care, and a better life for everyone.”

Zhao Huanzhang also raised his head slightly, dreaming of a beautiful future, he said: "I really hope that one day...my clinic can close down."

Gao Yuan looked at Zhao Huanzhang and smiled again.
