The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 444: Eagle Country’s medical care strangles the poor! China’s medical care benefits all people! Ancient people were shocked: Treatment is free?!
[A blond, blue-eyed white man in a white coat stands on the stage with a compassionate look on his face, pointing out the truth.]

Although this person spoke English, everyone in the heavens could still understand what he said.

“What is the gap between medical insurance in China and the United States?”

Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. They knew about China and the United States, but they didn’t quite understand the word “medical insurance”.

"Could it be that you mean medical and security protection?"

Zhu Biao next to him interrupted.

"My son is smart. I think this is what it means." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and agreed with this explanation.

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji became interested in medicine. He himself was quite knowledgeable about medicine, and in the process of promoting Taoism, he also objectively promoted the development of medicine.

"I ordered that every place must have a Taoist temple and a medical clinic. With the merits of thousands of families, the Song Dynasty should not be worse than China and the United States!"

Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty sensed a hint of tension and spoke calmly:
"It seems that this time the sky curtain is of a contrasting type, but I don't know whether the Chinese side will win or the American side!"

Deep down, he still prefers China. After all, they are Chinese, share the same roots and origins, and they are a centripetal force.

The video began to play amid speculation from all sides.

[The white man dances and talks eloquently:]

[“As everyone knows, we in the United States of America attach the greatest importance to medical care. Since the founding of the country, we have been committed to serving the people and building a free medical system!”]

【As he spoke, neat and orderly hospitals sprang up one after another. 】

[“America welcomes everyone who wants to realize the American dream. You will enjoy the most comfortable treatment!”]

Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was interrupted by Li Jing before he could even open his mouth.

This god of war has always distrusted foreigners, and he doesn't believe that these guys who look like evil spirits have any good intentions.

"It must be a conspiracy, trying to trick us! How could these foreign devils have good hearts!"

However, there were several civil servants in the queue next to him who disagreed with his opinion.

Chu Suiliang stood up, shaking his head and said:

"General Li, we can't just dismiss everything with one blow, as the sages said - there is no discrimination in education!
China and the United States are both major countries in the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. This America must have its merits. We should not underestimate the heroes of the world. "

His words drew approval from the civil servants nearby, and they all spoke up to take sides.

Compared with the chaos in the Tang Dynasty court, the Ming Dynasty was one-sided.

The Ming Dynasty officials who emerged from the uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty had no good feelings towards the Semites (white race) who relied on the Mongols to bully others.

Lan Yu clasped his fists and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Get on top! None of these white-skinned pigs are good. They are laughing so obscenely, there must be something fishy going on!"

"Lan Yu has hit the nail on the head. If these Semites were so kind, we wouldn't have suffered so many casualties before!"

Zhu Yuanzhang would never believe that hundreds of years could change the character of a nation!
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Shen and his ministers were quite trusting of this American on the stage.

Shi Kefa took the lead and said directly:
"Your Majesty, I have observed that the people of America have a complete medical system and are a great power. Should we send a fleet to look for them?

If the two countries can form an alliance to fight against the Jin people and the Mongols in the north, it will be easy to win! "

Zhao Shen was so happy to hear this that his nose was bubbling with joy. He quickly said:

"The Prime Minister is right! Hurry up and have someone build a ship and head to America!"

However, things went against their wishes. Just when the rulers and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were fantasizing about America, the content of the picture took a sharp turn for the worse.

[“Fake! All fake!”]

[A yellow-skinned, black-haired, ragged man appears in the center of the picture.]

[“What a bullshit free medical care! I just went in and spoke for three minutes, and the doctor didn’t even look up at me before handing me a check for three thousand dollars!”]

[Another haggard-looking woman appears on the screen.]

“I paid a bill of three hundred thousand dollars for a cut in my stomach, but on the last day, they didn’t pay and threw me out of the ward!
The stitches on my stomach hadn’t healed yet!”】

[This is America's medical insurance. Free medical care is just empty talk. All it has is disregard for human life and irresponsibility! ]

"Haha, they are really a bunch of people who are worse than beasts. The kindness of doctors has been wasted!"

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing looked at Chu Suiliang, who was in the opposite civil service sequence, with a sarcastic look, causing the other party's face to turn green and red.

But he could only secretly curse America's group of bastards for being so inhumane and making him lose face.

"Humph! This country of America is pretending to be one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It doesn't keep its word and is even deceiving and cheating. How can it be called a great power? It's really laughable!"

Cheng Yaojin responded in time, his words were as sharp as ever, and he directed his spearhead at the United States, which saved Li Jing and Chu Suiliang from the dispute.

Li Shimin then said leisurely:
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Medical issues are of utmost importance. Minor illnesses of the people will become major national illnesses over time. They cannot be ignored!"

Spring and Autumn Period, State of Cai. Bian Que was boiling medicine for Duke Huan of Cai when he saw Amelica crying and a flash of grief flashed across his face.

"Peng!"

He threw the medicine in his hand to the ground and said angrily:

"How foolish! If even doctors in a country have lost their conscience, who can the people trust to treat their illnesses?"

Doctors are the lifeline of patients. Can they really gain the trust of the people by pursuing profits and corrupting morals like this?
"I'm afraid the ruler of America is not as good as Duke Huan of Cai!"

Duke Huan of Cai was just trying to avoid medical treatment. I'm afraid the American upper class did it on purpose. They let it go on like this, which is really unscrupulous!
Daming, Lan Yu pointed at the patients crying and said with great sorrow:
"These bastards, the country is so corrupt, the doctors and hospitals are acting like this, how did America become one of the five permanent members of the UN!"

"Great! Old Zhu has been a tyrant all his life, killing countless people, but he never dared to touch doctors. The common people rely on these doctors to save their lives."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were wide with anger. He really couldn't bear to think about how many people in the world would die if doctors threw patients out just because they didn't pay enough money.

"Haha, the so-called medical insurance is actually only for the rich. It seems that even after thousands of years, people's hearts will not change!"

Li Shanchang sneered. He had seen many corrupt officials in his life, but he was still shocked by the chaos in medical insurance in the United States.

"Will the people of America really not rebel?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao expressed everyone's thoughts. Now that the situation has been forced to this point, are these Americans stupid? Don't they know how to protect their own rights?

[Free medical care on the surface, but exorbitant prices in secret. The reason for the chaos in the US medical insurance lies in the binary opposition of its political system! ]

"Oh? The political system?"

Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao's eyes flickered, how could a mere medical issue be linked to a national issue.

Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also looked around at his ministers, puzzled. Although medical insurance was important, it was just the responsibility of the Imperial Medical Service or even one of the six ministries.

It is obvious that it is not within the influence of the national system. Could it be that the United States has its own national conditions?

On the other hand, in the Song Dynasty, many heroes in the Juyi Hall were confused. They didn't know anything about medical insurance and politics. They only knew that the United States disregarded human life.

"It is wrong for quack doctors to harm people, no matter what the reason!"

The genius doctor An Daoquan spoke for the first time. The gangsters looked at each other and shouted at the same time:
"Doctor An is right!"

【The United States has been a country for more than 200 years, with two major parties participating in politics and taking turns in power. 】

[The Republican Party is mainly composed of white Americans, while the Democratic Party unites immigrants of all races. The two sides are fighting each other and are inseparable.]

"What? Two parties in power? Isn't this open party strife?"

Hui Song, Zhao Ji's eyes widened like bells, in disbelief.

He came to power because of the struggle between the new and old parties, and he is well aware of the destructiveness of it.

The infighting between the two parties is extremely harmful to the country and will cause a huge waste of resources.

"Incredible!"

Great Qin, Ying Zheng shook his head. The power of a country cannot be treated as a joke. Even when he was young, Lu Buwei interfered in politics, but that was just a fox taking advantage of the power of a tiger.

He really couldn't imagine what a terrible situation it would be if there were two main political parties in a country.

"But what do these two parties in the United States have to do with the collapse of health insurance?"

On the other side, in the Ming Dynasty of Yongle, Zhu Di looked at the Crown Prince and the King of Han who were clearly separated below, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Big brother! Second brother!"

Zhu Di's face darkened and he snorted coldly.

The fat eldest brother Zhu Gaochi rolled on the ground with an agility that was inconsistent with his body shape, and even Zhu Gaoxu was half a beat slower.

"Look at what will happen if the two families are at odds. It's shameful! If the Ming Dynasty splits up in the future, it will be your fault. You two may be infamous for eternity!"

This one sentence frightened Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu so much that they broke out in sweat and said they dared not.

After waiting for a while, the good saintly grandson Zhu Zhanji dared to step forward and hammer Zhu Di's legs, and said softly:
"Grandpa Emperor, calm down. It is impossible for our Ming Dynasty to fall to the same level as the barbarians in the United States. But what does this political system have to do with medical care?"

The next moment, the voice-over gave the answer.

[The two parties participate in politics, and their power is determined by their voters! If the voters are rich and powerful, the parties will be powerful! If the voters are poor, the parties will end in failure.]

[So, after the two parties come to power, they take turns to burden the other party's voters! ]

[However, the overlap between voters on both sides is very low, and a single policy is not very targeted, so someone came up with an idea——]

[People can have worse food, clothing and daily expenses, but they cannot avoid medical treatment. As long as the exploitation of medical care is increased, everyone can be precisely exploited! ]

【With such a great and virtuous new government, the number of patients in American hospitals will naturally decrease, and the more aggressive the promotion of "free medical care", the more people will go bankrupt because of medical treatment. 】

"Sigh~"

In the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang stood up with a somersault, and ignoring the strange looks from the ministers around him, a bright smile bloomed on his face.

"I thought that I had made a lot of money by setting up a hundred banknote gates and salt gates, but I didn't expect these barbarians to be even more powerful. They directly started with the patients. It's really...

It’s really wonderful!”

Yang Guang waved his hand, as if he saw a glittering treasure waving at him.

"Pass on my order. From now on, my Great Sui Dynasty will add a sickness tax. If anyone sees a doctor, we will collect the tax.

I think the United States can become a great power just by relying on this kind of wealth! My Sui Dynasty can do the same!

I have created a new way to make money for the Sui Dynasty! What do you think, my dear ministers? "

Even Yu Wenzhi below looked at Yang Guang with an incredible look, not to mention the other ministers. People can't or at least shouldn't be so beastly!

However, Yang Guang was immersed in complacency and did not notice the unusual behavior of the ministers below.

Of course, most emperors were still human beings. In the Wude Hall of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Zhangsun looked at her husband with a gloomy face and said:

"The world is in turmoil. Your Majesty should understand that those who are in the right will have many supporters while those who are in the wrong will have few! Such a policy is heading for the destruction of the country!"

"I understand, Guanyinbi (Empress Changsun's nickname), don't you understand me? I will never do such a perverse thing!"

Li Shimin pointed at the screen and said:

"The US health insurance policy is so cruel and devious, and the country will not last long!"

"Your Majesty is right. I think we should also focus on the number of medical clinics in the country, so that the people will not be unable to get treatment for their illnesses!"

Fang Xuanling stood up and made a rare proposal.

"What Lao Fang said is not bad, I think so too!"

Du Ruhui seconded the motion.

"Okay! But I will never allow a situation similar to the United States to occur in our country!"

Li Shimin touched his chin and began to think about what methods he should use to reform the medical system in his country, but his thoughts were fruitless.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a comparison of Chinese and American health insurance in the Sky Curtain? Why don't we wait and see how China's health insurance system works?"

At this time, Cheng Yaojin stood up and made a proposal.

Just at this moment, a mechanical voice-over came from the screen.

[China's medical insurance system is fundamentally different from that of the United States. There is no partisan strife, and no capital outsourcing.

Although we started late, we are on a smooth road. 】

[“Taking medicine when you are sick won’t kill you instantly, but it can destroy your family.”]

[The energetic old lady talks freely in the picture, with a hint of fear on her face, as if she is recalling some horrible memory.]

[“I used to be a leukemia patient, and my family had to pay for medicines to the point of exhausting my savings. But after I joined the medical insurance program, I can buy better medicines at only one percent of the previous price!”]

【Today, Huaxia's medical insurance has covered all aspects of society at a low price, and every elderly person can be hospitalized for free and enjoy benefits. 】

Spring and Autumn Period, Qufu, State of Lu.

"The elderly are well cared for, the sick are cared for, and the government provides assistance. This is truly a harmonious society!"

Confucius looked at the sky and sighed deeply, not knowing whether it was out of envy or lament for the world he lived in.

"The world is united, which is really enviable. Is this the real function of the medical insurance system?"

The chaos in the U.S.’s medical insurance system previously turned this benevolent policy into a strategy that brought disaster to the country and the people. Now they can finally glimpse the true effect of medical insurance.

Zigong sat cross-legged in front of Confucius and respectfully asked:
"Master, if I want to promote this method, is there a chance?"

"No chance! It's impossible to succeed!"

Confucius closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Why?"

Zigong was a disciple who liked to ask questions. In his opinion, the Master knew everything.

But this time, Confucius disappointed him.

"I do not know either."

Confucius knew that this required a strong government, but this went against his long-held belief in restoring the Zhou rituals.

His resolute heart was actually a little confused!

In another time and space, in the Qin Empire, in the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng gathered all the members of the Imperial Medical Bureau together.

“The medical insurance system is indeed not bad. I have decided to promote medical clinics to benefit the people of the world.

You all know that there are doctors and physicians all over the world, and we need you to find them and teach them!"

The Qin Dynasty, which had just unified the six kingdoms, still needed a long time to assimilate the hearts of doctors from various countries, but Ying Zheng was not in a hurry, he had become patient enough!

"Father! Please let me go this time!"

Fusu volunteered, this was a policy that truly benefited the people, so he needed to keep a close eye on the Legalists and cruel officials of the Qin Dynasty and not let good intentions lead to bad results.

Ying Zheng nodded and waved his hand as a sign of agreement.

In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Che personally took Lord Yan to discuss the feasibility of implementing medical reforms within the Han Dynasty, but the conclusion reached was that it was impossible.

The north was still at war with the Huns, and all these reforms could only come to a conclusion after the actions of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

"It is truly a blessing from heaven that China has been able to achieve this after a thousand years. I am somewhat relieved that I can see the legendary world."

Liu Che stood on the pavilion of Changle Palace, looking at the sky above, and was inspired. Only Wei Zifu was with him. She supported Liu Che and persuaded him:
"Your Majesty, everything depends on human effort. The system is always implemented by humans. Haven't you seen the United States? When good medical insurance is put in their hands, it becomes a sickle that destroys families and people!"

"Haha, don't worry, I won't rush into anything. I will wait until the country can bear it before I start the reform."

Liu Che patted Wei Zifu's hand and made his own decision.

At this moment, the picture on the sky curtain is coming to an end, and the voice-over is telling the story.

【China's medical insurance miracle is built on a public medical system. 】

[Without public hospitals, officials who are dedicated to speaking up for the people, and the people who work tirelessly, none of this would be possible.]

[No matter you are male or female, old or young, as long as you are born in China, you can enjoy medical insurance and free medical resources, which benefit thousands of households! ]

"We can take care of all aspects, including the widowed, the lonely, the men, the women, the old and the young. This is the way to rebuild the medical order in the Tang Dynasty!"

In the Tang Dynasty, in the Wude Hall, Li Shimin patted his thigh heavily and found the system he really wanted.

What does it mean to truly benefit all living beings and what does it mean to make every family a Buddha?

As long as the Tang Dynasty imitates the Chinese medical insurance system in Tianmu, wouldn't it be possible to build a world where no one is afraid to seek medical treatment for their illnesses?

"Your Majesty! Think again!"

At this time, all the officials from the five surnames and seven families in the train jumped out to oppose.

"If we want to achieve this effect, the money, manpower and material resources required are beyond the ability of the current Tang Dynasty to afford!"

"That's right! Your Majesty, please consider it in the long term, or give the power of medical insurance to the noble families, so that they can share the worries of the country!"

These ministers eventually showed their true colors and wanted to take medical power into their own hands.

"Humph! That sounds good! Do you believe it? If His Majesty gives you the power over medical insurance, won't the situation of medical insurance in the United States be repeated?"

At this time, Yuchi Gong, a military officer, could no longer sit still. He came from the lower class and knew how these aristocratic families dealt with the lower class people.

The common people themselves had no means to learn medical skills, which meant that the doctors in the Tang Dynasty basically came from aristocratic families, or at least from humble backgrounds.

The Tang Dynasty court wants to establish a medical insurance system, which means cutting into their own flesh. No wonder they are so anxious.

"You're right. I'm afraid that by then, you will be worse off than the United States. The people will not only go bankrupt, but they will even lose their lives!"

The person who spoke up for Yuchi Gong was Wei Zheng, who had remained silent the whole time.

"Okay! I have made up my mind! No need to say anything more!"

Li Shimin promptly stopped the further escalation of the conflict. Although he had been dissatisfied with these Five Surnames and Seven Families for a long time, he was still unable to deal with them.

But this medical reform must be carried out!

"I have decided to invite Elder Immortal Sun to serve as the first director of the Tang Dynasty's government-run hospital. Do you have any questions?"

As soon as the words fell, the court, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.

"Old Immortal Sun?!"

"Is it that old immortal Sun?"

"Sun Simiao?!"

All the officials in the field were whispering, but Li Shimin looked confident.

"Please come out, old immortal!"

Li Shimin stood up personally and waved the sleeves of his black dragon robe. Crown Prince Li Chengqian and third son Li Tai jointly supported an old man with white hair and a youthful face to the hall.

The old man was wearing a tattered Taoist robe and a bare wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally on his head, looking quite casual.

It was none other than the Taoist medical master who was famous in later generations - Sun Simiao!

"Haha, everyone, this old man is not blind to what is happening outside. I have also seen the contrast between the two countries on the sky."

Sun Simiao broke free from the support of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and paced the hall by himself. He did not look like a man in his nineties at all. As he walked, he said:
"I don't have any great plans to help the world, but I can't watch people suffer from illness.
Therefore, your majesty's actions are of great merit, and I hope you can give the old Taoist priest some face!"

Facing this living immortal, even those high-ranking aristocratic families did not dare to say anything. After all, who could be sure that they would not get sick in the future?

Sun Simiao has such deterrent power!
"Hahaha! Old Immortal, please take your seat. From now on, I promise that the Tang Dynasty's government-run hospital will only serve the people and will not charge any fees above the basic consultation fee!"

Li Shimin patted his chest with a relieved smile on his face.

With Sun Simiao here, who would dare to oppose the Tang Dynasty’s official hospitals?

The officials below the stage could only accept this matter with a wry smile, lowered their heads, said nothing, and tacitly agreed to this matter.

"I, your son, congratulate the Tang Dynasty! The people are blessed, all thanks to your majesty's wisdom and the compassion of the old immortal!"

Li Chengqian was still a positive and good young man at that time, and he spoke loudly in the hall.

Datang actually has its own hospital. This is an important step in medical reform!
At this moment, the picture on the sky curtain also came to an end. The contrast between China and the United States was so obvious that everyone could see it clearly.

"American pills!"

At this moment, the exciting music and drums sounded, and a mottled black and white photo appeared in front of all the audience.

【1945 AD, Yalta. 】

[This little-known town became famous all over the world because of the arrival of three people! ]

(End of this chapter)
