Chapter 516: Going to Shenzhou for medical treatment is fast and economical
Chapter 516: Going to Shenzhou for medical treatment is fast and economical
"shit!"
Green just returned home dragging his tired body and immediately saw the notice from the insurance company.
It clearly states that starting from next year, medical insurance premiums will increase by 150% based on this year's level. The reason is that the currency is depreciating, prices are rising too fast, and at the same time, fewer and fewer people are participating in medical insurance, which increases the unit cost of insurance companies. Therefore, the premiums will increase by an outrageous 150%.
Of course, the insurance company is also very considerate and tells you that you can choose not to purchase medical insurance, but if you do not have insurance, you can receive a sky-high bill after just a few minutes of chatting with the doctor.
Finally, they suggest that you continue to purchase their company's medical insurance because it is the most cost-effective option at present.
"shit!"
"These vampires!"
After reading it, Green couldn't help but curse continuously.
Because over the years, the insurance premiums of insurance companies have been increasing year by year, at least by 150 to percent, and there have been several times when the premiums have increased by percent at once, like now.
Although the currency has depreciated severely now, the increase in everyone's salary income is far behind the increase in prices, and various expenses have also skyrocketed, so that life is becoming more and more difficult.
Green is lucky. He still has a relatively stable job until now, and his wife has also found a salary. With the work of the couple, they can barely make ends meet.
But now he has to hand over the care of the child to his parents because there is really no other way.
Now his income alone is not enough to support the family, and the couple must work together to earn money to barely make ends meet.
Yes, just barely keeping it going.
In the past, he could support his family of five and a dog by working alone, and he even had many holidays every year for his family to travel and vacation around the world.
He can still save some money from his income.
At that time, although the salary was only more than 1 US dollars a month, the purchasing power was very strong and the whole family lived a comfortable life.
Now, the combined salary of a couple exceeds $5, but the purchasing power of this $5000 is roughly equivalent to $ before.
This means that the income of two people working together is only half of what one person earned before.
Fortunately, they have no mortgage on their house, otherwise their life would be even worse.
At the same time, Green's parents also understand that their lives are not easy, so they are willing to live with them and help take care of the children and do housework.
"Green, what happened?"
At this time, Green's father Will heard the sound, came out and asked.
"The insurance company notified us that next year's medical insurance premiums will increase by 150%!"
"They are such a bunch of vampires!"
Green handed the notice to his father and said, "The medical insurance premiums are really getting outrageous!"
Will read it carefully, thought about it and said, "We won't buy this medical insurance!"
"It was outrageous before, and now the increase is too great."
"Don't buy it. It's too hard to make money now, and the expenses are too high."
"You and Mary are both working so hard and so tired!"
At this time, Green's wife Mary just came back from get off work. When she heard Will's words, she smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. The current situation is too bad. Even if the two of us work together, our family's life is still difficult."
"If you hadn't helped take care of the kids, we wouldn't know what we would do."
"We are a family and we should help each other."
Will said as he walked inside: "I've seen a lot of things in Shenzhou recently, and I've learned a lot. I think they are right in many aspects and are worth learning from."
"We don't buy this medical insurance anymore, and many people don't buy it now."
"Dad, if we don't buy it, seeing a doctor is really too expensive. We can't afford it at all."
"When Mary gave birth two years ago, the total cost was more than $20. If it weren't for medical insurance, we wouldn't have been able to afford it."
Green shook his head and said.
Seeing a doctor here is really terrifying. In the past, just chatting with a doctor could cost thousands of dollars. If you wanted to get some medicine or do some tests, the cost would start from tens of thousands of dollars. As for the cost now, it is even more terrifying.
This is also the reason why they must purchase medical insurance. If they don’t, once they get sick, they really won’t be able to afford medical treatment.
"child!"
“Do you know why our medical bills are so high?”
“Does it really cost $20 to have a child?”
Will smiled and said, "This is all because the medical system and insurance companies are run by the same group of people. They deliberately make medical expenses sky-high to force everyone to buy expensive medical insurance."
"After all, under normal circumstances, ordinary people would at most have a cold or fever throughout the year. Young people who are in good health can have anything in a few years."
"If you want to fleece everyone, you have to come up with a way to make everyone pay for it in the long term, and that way is medical insurance premiums, forcing you to pay this money out of your salary every month."
"We all spend a lot of money every year to buy medical insurance, but our country's life expectancy is the lowest among developed regions. Do you know why?"
Will's words made Green and Mary fall into deep thought. They had never thought about such a question before.
"why?"
"Because our medical care and insurance are just tools for those greedy vampires to shear their sheep."
"Seeing a doctor is a very simple thing in other parts of the world, especially in China. If you just have a common cold or fever, you can go directly to a small clinic. You don't need to wait in line. You can just take some medicine. It only costs a few dozen dollars. It's fast and saves money."
"Even if you go to a big hospital, you can get treated quickly, and the fees won't be as outrageous and scary as ours."
"Those greedy vampires deliberately make the medical expenses extremely high and outrageous, forcing us to buy insurance."
"When Mary gave birth to Bill, the cost was more than $20. After insurance, we only had to pay more than $1000. It seems like a good deal. I'm glad we had the ability to afford insurance."
"But think about it carefully. It's just a smooth birth. Does it really cost more than $20?"
"If this were the case all over the world, people in many places would never have children again."
"This is purely intentional. They deliberately came up with an exorbitant medical bill. Even if we went to the doctor for a cold, they did nothing but chatted with us for a few minutes and told us to go home and take painkillers. They could still charge us more than $1."
"Is this reasonable?"
"When you think about it, it's just a way they've devised to shear sheep."
"And here, no matter what the disease is, the most common thing people take is various painkillers. There are a lot of painkillers in the supermarket, and they are in buckets of hundreds or thousands of tablets."
“Countless people are addicted to painkillers!”
"In order to get more people to take these painkillers, they even deliberately delay the time for seeing a doctor. Often it takes a week or even a month to see a doctor, and by the time it's your turn, the disease has already healed."
"But on the other side of the ocean, they rarely take painkillers, and they have extremely strict control over this type of drug. Why?"
"Because they are well aware of the harmfulness and addictiveness of these drugs, they try not to take them if possible."
Will smiled and said, "We don't have to buy medical insurance and don't have to worry about seeing a doctor."
"We can go to Shenzhou for medical treatment, it's fast and saves money!"
"Anyway, we now have anti-gravity aircraft and global flying drops, which are both very convenient."
"Is this really okay?" Green and Mary looked at each other and said.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Many of my friends are doing the same thing now. No one buys medical insurance anymore. If they are sick, they go to Shenzhou for treatment. Even if you include the travel expenses, it's much cheaper than in our local area."
"More importantly, it is fast, economical and safer. The drugs they prescribe are strictly controlled and will not be used indiscriminately. There is no need to worry about addiction or anything like that."
Will said with certainty.
At this time, Green's mother, Elisa, walked in from the backyard with a basket of fresh vegetables in her hands, including cabbage, cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes.
"Hey, look, look at the vegetables in my hand." "Will and I grew these in the backyard!"
Alyssa said with a sense of accomplishment: "It's really amazing! I learned the methods in the virtual world and actually grew vegetables. And they grew really well, much better than those bought in the supermarket."
Green and Mary hurried over and looked at it carefully. As they watched, they said with a smile on their faces: "It's really great!"
“This vegetable is amazing!”
"Vegetables in supermarkets are getting more and more expensive. If we can grow our own vegetables, we can save a lot of money."
"No problem at all. I turned the lawn and garden at the back into a vegetable garden and planted a lot of vegetables, enough for our family to eat." Alyssa said with a smile, "This feels really great. Not only does it exercise the body, but we also have endless healthy vegetables to eat, and it can also save family expenses."
"Oriental people are really very wise. I finally understand why they like to grow vegetables."
"You guys take a break. I've just been learning how to cook Chinese food. Today I'm going to make you some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with carrots, and spicy and sour Chinese cabbage."
Elisa carried the vegetables and went to the kitchen to get busy.
These fresh vegetables are very different from the semi-finished cans and boxes they buy from supermarkets. It is better to learn how people in China cook them, as they will taste better.
"Do you see it."

“This is the life wisdom of the Orientals!”
"They have gone through a long history of 5,000 years, experienced countless ups and downs, and experienced countless disasters."
"So they are frugal and try their best to make the best use of the various resources around them."
"We have always been accustomed to wasting resources and over-consumption. In the past, when we were the most powerful and could plunder resources and wealth from all over the world, we did live a good life."
"But we can't go on like this forever, especially those greedy vampires. Their appetites are never satisfied. Even if you give them all the wealth in the world, they will never be satisfied. This is the fundamental reason why we have become so bad, poor, and difficult."
"In fact, we have vast lands and abundant resources. We can live a good life, but vampires are too greedy and always think of various ways to suck our blood, just like seeing a doctor and medical insurance."
"In addition, many times, when there is no market, they deliberately create one, such as promoting consumption, immediate enjoyment, and pre-consumption. In order to save money, they even do whatever it takes, such as deliberately creating LTGB, deliberately blurring the terms, and misleading children, thus artificially creating a huge market."
"There are so many, so many things like this!"
"In the past, they could still suck blood from the whole world, so we had less pressure and our lives were easier. But now it's different. They can't suck blood from the whole world anymore, so our lives are really hard."
“So we need to learn the wisdom of the East, learn to be frugal, and learn to live more wisely.”
"And the world is big. We don't have to limit ourselves to one cage. We need to look at the world."
Will's words made Green and Mary fall into long thought, and when they thought about it carefully, it was true.
Greedy vampires are never satisfied and will do anything to suck blood.
"Mom! I don't feel well. I feel so bad."
At this time, Green's eldest son Carol came over and said.
When Green and Mary heard this, they hurried to check on him. They touched his head and found it was terribly hot. It was obvious that he had a cold.
"Let's go, let's go to the hospital!"
Green quickly took Mary and Carol to the hospital.
"Wait!"
"How about you two try to go to Shenzhou for medical treatment?"
"Anyway, we have an anti-gravity aircraft, and it will only take a little over an hour to fly there. If we go to the hospital, it will already be night, and there will definitely be no one there."
Will said quickly.
"All right!"
Green and Mary looked at each other, and quickly boarded the anti-gravity aircraft and flew directly to Shenzhou.
After more than an hour, they flew across the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Shenzhou.
Going through customs was also very quick. Especially when we learned that a child had a high fever, the staff was very considerate and reminded us: "If it's just a cold and fever, just go to a small clinic."
Now there are many people coming to Shenzhou for medical treatment, including those from Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Latin America, so the staff are no longer surprised.
"OK, thanks!"
Green and Mary randomly landed in a city, found a small clinic in the virtual world and walked in.
There was no one in the small clinic. When they came in, the doctor inside was slightly stunned.
Fortunately, I can speak simple English, and then we can connect to each other's virtual machines immediately, and there is no obstacle in communicating through the virtual machines.
The doctor asked about the situation in detail, measured the temperature, and performed auscultation. He then said, "It's nothing serious, just a simple cold and fever. I'll prescribe some medicine for him. You should take it on time. In addition, it's winter now, so you should keep warm and drink more hot water."
The doctor quickly prescribed some medicine for them and told them how many times a day to take it and how much to take each time. Because the fever was serious, Carol was also given antipyretics on the spot.
"how much is it?"
After hearing what the doctor said, Green felt relieved and asked about the consultation fee.
"55 rabbit gold!"
The doctor calculated and said.
"OK!"
Green also quickly paid the consultation fee, and at the same time he and Mary exclaimed: "This is really convenient to see a doctor, and it is really very cheap!"
"It's just a few dozen rabbit golds, too cheap!"
On the way back, Carol's fever had started to subside, and her spirits and energy felt much better.
When they got home, Will and Alyssa had been waiting. When they saw them coming back, they hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
"I can't believe it, it's so convenient."
"When we go to see a doctor, we don't have to wait in line at all. We can see the doctor right away."
"The doctor took the temperature, listened to the heart and lungs, etc., and said Carol had a cold and it was nothing serious."
"We were given some medicine. After Carol took some, she feels much better now."
"And it only cost 55 rabbit gold, which is very cheap, and it's a quick bargain!"
"I've decided that I won't buy health insurance!"
Green said excitedly.
To be honest, he had never had such a medical experience before.
If it happens locally, this kind of cold will take hours to wait in line, and the doctor's visit will only take a few minutes. They will tell you to go home and take more painkillers and rest more, and then you will receive a sky-high bill in a few days.
They actually do nothing, and you spend a lot of time waiting in line and end up eating painkillers as candy.
Unless it is an extremely urgent situation, there are basically long queues. Many times, the illness has already been cured, but people are still waiting in line.
This is why everyone takes painkillers, because they really can’t stand it, so they take painkillers to relieve the pain first.
“It is true that you don’t need to buy medical insurance.”
"In this way, we can save a lot of money every year."
Mary also agreed deeply. After personally going to the East to experience it once, she had to admit that everything Will said was right.
Seeing a doctor is actually a very simple thing!
