Blackstone Code Chapter 266: Masks and escapism
As the music in the hall begins to drop, the people in their respective circles start to stop what they are doing and turn to look at the center of the crowd.
Some of the people resting in the VIP room also changed their clothes for the next reception and reappeared in front of people, which naturally included the Wardricks.
Mr. Wardrick smiled kindly at Lynch and waved his hand. There was no arrogance in him, a very approachable person.
But if you really think this is the truth, then the truth must be a shock.
Today's celebration isn't so much a celebration of Mr. President's ascension to the highest federal stage of power as a potential... fair?
The people present are all Mr. President's supporters. As their support for Mr. President over the past few years, and if Mr. President wants to get these people to continue to support him in the general election, then he must tell them clearly Supporters, what can they get from Mr. President because of the support they have given Mr. President in all aspects.
In layman's terms, it is these people who contribute money and work, and what kind of return they will get if they continue to contribute money and work in the future.
This is the characteristic of the Baylor Federation. Everything is clearly priced, and everything that has been paid will definitely be rewarded!
People don't always believe it's true, but it's true.
It was only at this time that Lynch noticed that there were people who were not in front of people before, but now they are, among them the executive director of the largest medical group in the federation.
Since dental-related medical groups have encouraged people to believe that it is their attitude responsible to take dental insurance out of social security, larger medical groups are doing it too.
To this end, they also set up a very large professional public relations team to try to convince people from all walks of life to believe their **** claims - pay more expensive medical insurance, and enjoy better medical services and protection!
On the one hand, the purpose of this is to get rid of the supervision from government agencies. After all, part of the medical payment is paid by the federal government. The federal government wants to ensure that every penny they pay to the medical group is worthwhile and appropriate. , they will stare at every single medical item.
They will also specify the use of some medicines. The most common example, such as influenza is a small problem. The government will tell the public that the medicines are 19 cents, 39 cents and 9 yuan and 9 cents. There is no difference in essence, and it will also tell the public that only 19% of the drugs are included in the social security program.
If a doctor prescribes a medicine at a different price, it will be fully borne by the citizens themselves.
This also makes many people, no, the vast majority of people have to use those drugs designated by the federal government if they want the federal government to help them bear part of their medical expenses.
This is actually very inconsistent with the interests of the medical group. The difference between the ingredients of the medicines with 19 points, 39 points and 9 yuan and 9 points is indeed not big, but the difference in profits is dozens of times and hundreds of times.
They prefer the public to use medicines that cost nine yuan and nine cents instead of nineteen cents, and they don't want the government to keep an eye on them all the time.
Then the easiest way is to separate the people's medical insurance from social insurance, just like what dentists do. As long as the government does not need to pay for the people's medical expenses, then there is no reason for the government to continue to monitor every A medical service and an order, that's the insurance company's business.
This also means that some people need to pay hundreds of times more than the original cost for the pain that can be cured by cheap drugs.
Even if the medical insurance group will bear even 50% of the cost, their profit will still be more than 100 times!
For this reason, these medical groups are still advocating the disadvantages of "cheap medical care" on TV and newspapers. They also use some famous social figures as examples to tell the public what kind of medical services these rich people receive, and what kind of medical services they receive. What is the treatment service.
They also say things like life equality and make people think they too deserve better, more robust, and more reliable treatment, not "cheap treatment".
On the other hand, the increasingly greedy medical groups are no longer satisfied with the idea of eating only one side. They have formed some companies that specialize in medical insurance, and plan to eat the insurance costs together.
Everyone knows that medical insurance has to be paid, and no one knows when they will encounter some trouble, but not everyone gets sick every year, which also means that at least hundreds of millions of insurance costs sink to the bottom every year .
If this money could fit in my pocket...
When I saw these people, Lynch suddenly felt that compared to them, he was still too kind and softhearted!
These people are really cannibalizing people, and the whole high society understands this, but no one says it, not even the federal government itself.
Because they also know very well that if the people are willing to pay for their own medical insurance, the medical group will bear this part of the expenses, which will undoubtedly save a lot of money for the federal government.
Whether these patients who pay higher fees and receive higher treatment costs can finally get their satisfactory results is another matter.
Everyone is silent. In the face of huge interests, everyone is almost the same, including the president who is affectionately called "the president who tells the truth", and so is he!
In addition to people from the medical group, representatives of some well-known chemical companies also appeared.
The chemical industry is also a hard-hit area and faces many troubles and legal disputes, so they hope to solve these problems from the top down.
To do this, the best way is to find a politician to support him in the election, and then send him to the throne of the president. At that time, he will naturally provide enough facilities for the chemical group.
The music in the hall finally stopped, and Mr. President stood in the middle of the crowd. He needed to say something for tonight's reception to express the attitude he should have.
After looking around for a while, he was silent for a while, and then said a word with some solemnity, "Thank you!"
"I want to thank everyone for being here, and I also want to thank everyone for their support over the past few years!" His voice began to gradually increase, and only his voice was heard in the quiet hall.
"Although we lost the election last time, but...", a few smiles appeared on his face, "We are lucky!"
People gave good laughter for his self-mockery. In interpersonal communication, being good at self-deprecating and humorous is very helpful for interpersonal communication.
The laughter stopped after a short while, and Mr. President continued, "I've been thinking all this time, now that I'm the president, people don't think about what to do before they call me Leave me some decent..."
People smiled kindly again, the atmosphere was very good, and it seemed that every big man was a master at adjusting the atmosphere.
"Now that I'm president, I have to do something a president can do."
"We all know that the current situation in the Federation is not optimistic, and we should also put aside our blind optimism and face some problems."
"If you have noticed my previous speech, you will find that there is a very special point of view, that is, we should take more international responsibilities in the international community, and this sentence came from a young man in the mouth."
"Honestly, I never thought that such an opinion would come from such a young man, but it also warns us that we have already discovered the problem, but we are all choosing to pretend not to see It!"
"Mr. Lynch!", Mr. President looked around, his eyes finally fell on Lynch, the crowd was also separated, and Lynch was exposed to people's eyes.
Even Mr. Wardrick looked at Lynch in amazement. He didn't quite understand how such an inconspicuous little person could cause Mr. President to speak alone on such an important occasion.
"Mr. Lynch made this point first, and he made me understand that isolation does not mean giving up all rights and obligations, nor does it mean giving up all responsibilities."
"That's not the right way to write in isolation, it's escapism and escapism."
"I will make the Federation more involved in some international affairs. This time we will no longer play the role of a deserter. The mistakes we have made in the past will serve as our wisdom to wake us up and guide us on the right path. ."
"For the Commonwealth, For the People, Long Live the Free Commonwealth!"
The president raised the glass, and the people raised the glass, chanting the same words, chanting Long Live the Free Federation, and the atmosphere rose in an instant!
Then it's time for individual and deeper conversations ~IndoMTL.com~ Everyone can chat with the President about what they care about and are interested in, which is of course the heart of this celebration.
They will put forward some of their own ideas and demands, and if Mr. President finds it appropriate, they may be given a certain degree of confirmation, but it will never be a promise.
In addition, this is also a very high-profile social occasion. Top-level capitalists, top-level politicians, and various looming brokers are gathered together!
Some people started looking for someone to chat with, but more people continued to surround Mr. President.
After Lynch sent two guys who came to chat with him but had no real content, they were already talking about something as they approached Mr. President.
"I had a phone call with the president of ... not long ago. He highly affirmed our reintegration into the international community and agreed to promote bilateral trade to a limited extent based on the current situation..."
"In the next period of time, we will arrange for some people to go abroad to have a look, investigate the investment environment and market economy of other countries, and look for some business opportunities..."
