Blackstone Code

In October, Lynch turned a year older.

Sometimes time is so naughty, you think it will always accompany you slowly through a long life.

But in fact, if you don’t notice it for a short while, half of your life will be “eaten” by it!

When you are young, time always passes very slowly, and people who are still teenagers have never been worried about lack of time.

After the best twenty years of my life have passed, time begins to speed up.

Life seems to be trapped in a weird cycle——

Wake up, work, go to sleep!

Capitalists and social activists tell people that this kind of life is called "fulfillment."

So isn’t the life of capitalists fulfilling?

No one knows, because capitalists will not spread their happiness to more people.

This year's birthday was as lively as ever. Penny invited many people, and especially many politicians came this year.

On the one hand, the York Gang has become an important team in Congress, and they have obtained about 20% of the seats.

Even if they announce the establishment of a new political party now, it is completely enough!

Not to mention that Lynch has so many governor friends, friends in the military, and friends in politics.

Lynch's career is getting better and better, and people are becoming more and more willing to contact him and become friends.

Life is always like this.

When you encounter adversity, everyone seems to be an obstacle used by fate to test you.

When everything goes very well for you, these people become your most loyal friends!

After the birthday party, Lynch sat with Connor, Gladstone, and Connor's campaign team.

"Starting next month, Connor will be touring the country for speeches, and we also need to move out the core of our campaign..."

Gladstone introduced the situation to Lynch like a team leader, and Connor sat aside with a smile on his face, seemingly not at all troubled by the fact that Gladstone said what he should say.

Gladstone gave Lynch several key words——

Educational reform, social security system reform, military reform, medical issues.

"Mr. Trueman's push for education reform has so far yielded significant results, and we are seeing more institutions emerging."

"After Connor takes office, we may increase spending on education and nominate the Minister of Education to the cabinet list."

Connor, who was sitting next to him, was like a bystander. He nodded and watched Gladstone talk about things related to him and make various decisions for him.

The relationship between the two has become very bad. Gladstone is too controlling, and Connor is unwilling to become Gladstone's puppet and "trophy".

They can still maintain this relationship now only because of the election.

Gladstone seemed to feel something and looked back at Connor. After the two looked at each other calmly for two seconds, Gladstone sat back and said, "Let Connor tell you the details."

He is giving in. He actually knows that he is too strong and controlling.

This can be seen in the fact that not long after the short old man retired, he replaced the Progressive Party committees with his own people.

Even if it is an old man who is of the same lineage and was not promoted by him personally, he will not be merciful when he should clean it up.

Connor is a very important pawn that he has pushed out. If he cannot push several presidents to power during his tenure as the chairman of the party committee, it will inevitably fail.

He doesn't want to be seen as a failure, and he doesn't want to miss such a good era.

But the higher Connor's approval rating is now, the more Gladstone feels that Connor is on a different path than him.

Connor smiled slightly and continued Gladstone's words, "There are now a total of seventy-seven universities in the country, and twenty-two of them were built by you."

"There are also some newly established universities, and capital investment in the education industry is increasing. This is a good phenomenon."

"But at the same time, there is another problem. Some schools are not competitive in terms of teaching staff. They just want to use the name of the university to sell diplomas and collect tuition fees."

"So next, we will increase investment in resources for education, and at the same time deepen management of the education field."

"I will need your cooperation then!"

The tuition fees for college are really high. Lynch's University Alliance was successfully "born" under the banner of education reform. The University Alliance and student loans bring him tens of millions of dollars every year.

These incomes still seem very modest, and people always have more tolerance for the medical and education industries!

They often accuse the government of inaction and disorder, but rarely say anything wrong with hospitals and schools.

This gave some capitalists an opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. They established some universities to recruit students from outside the country and lowered tuition fees and admission standards. At the same time, they did not plan to train students into talents.

It’s purely to sell diplomas. After all, many people still believe that studying is the only way to transcend class.

There has been some chaos in the education industry, which is a point of great concern to everyone.

After all, students and parents spend money, hoping that their children can truly receive an education and get a graduation certificate that can be used as a basis for their survival in society, not just a piece of waste paper.

This kind of thing that attracts widespread attention and is easy to solve is very suitable for campaigning.

The same goes for the reform of the social security system and the military reform. They have already begun. The most difficult part has been overcome. The rest is credit.

These are aptly placed at the heart of an election manifesto, and are things people pay close attention to.

But medical issues…

Lynch felt that Connor was not a fool, and the presidents of the Federation did not dare to touch this issue for the time being.

For the people of the Federation today, it is the best status quo to be able to afford treatment for minor illnesses but not to expect treatment for serious illnesses.

If you deal with medical issues, it's hard to say where it will go.

Maybe even minor illnesses are looked down upon.

There is also a voice in society that believes that the federal government should assume some responsibility for people's medical problems.

For example, free medical insurance is provided to some patients who really cannot afford medical expenses.

Including but not limited to surgery and other non-social security medical services.

There are many people who hold this view, but no one dares to touch it.

It’s okay for the federal government to pay for hospitalization, medication, and surgery for those who cannot afford to see a doctor.

But where did the money come from?

It couldn't have fallen from the sky.

In the end there are only two possibilities.

Either the wool comes from the sheep, just like commercial insurance, pooling the efforts of citizens across the country to rescue a small number of patients.

Or let the medical group make certain concessions to reduce various medical expenses and service fees.

The public will object to the former, but the medical groups will not agree to the latter.

This is a thankless thing.

Lynch's eyes were a little strange, and Connor smiled awkwardly, "I have an immature idea."

"We separate medical security from social security, increase the fees and expenditures levied on medical security, and secondly let capital intervene..."

Hearing this, Lynch understood.

"I support your idea and Blackstone Insurance will also participate."

Mr. Trueman split the pension insurance in two, with the federal government paying one part and businesses paying the heaviest part.

Now Connor plans to separate Medicare from Social Security and split it into two after taking office.

Social public medical security is one part, and commercial medical insurance is another part.

This is what capitalists and even medical groups want to see.

Because medical groups can also formulate various medical insurances on their own, the medical part of federal social security for citizens was so small in the past that there was basically no profit.

But now that it is stripped out and semi-commercialized, there will be a lot of profit margins.

When the cost of social medical security exceeds what is currently required, people have to consider whether to pay the money to the federal government or to commercial insurance.

In the past, it was only a few yuan per month, but now, it may be more than ten yuan or even twenty or thirty yuan per month.

But it does not support medical services such as surgery, but only supports subsidies for guaranteed drugs.

This makes sense for people who need medication.

As long as you take enough of the medicines covered by the guarantee, you will definitely be able to get your money back.

But for healthy people, it increases their burden and their ability to withstand sudden risks is not obvious.

For example, if you suddenly encounter danger and need surgery, this part of the medical insurance expenditure does not support the discount on surgical services, and the money is paid in vain.

Then the value of commercial insurance is reflected. You may pay a little more, but you can enjoy more services.

People will think this is a great deal!

Eventually, medical security in social security will gradually be replaced by commercial insurance.

In fact, we can also understand a question from the side. Among Connor's supporters, there must be some giants in the insurance industry.

Mr. Trueman had set a precedent, and they were willing to pay for a try!

Connor and Lynch talked about this because there will be some hearings later, which may require the participation of Blackstone Insurance under Lynch.

Say hello first so that you don't get confused later.

After talking about these things, it was time to invite Lynch to participate in some of his public speaking engagements.

It's a kind of support.

Many celebrity dignitaries will be present at the Federal President's speeches to increase their influence.

Politicians, capitalists, celebrities, Connor will all be invited, Lynch is just one of them.

Lynch agreed to give three speeches in Bupen, but he may not have time to attend out of town.

In addition, there are some street activities or TV activities that Lynch may need to participate in. These are not big problems.

There are still three months left before the election results, and the Federation has once again fallen into some kind of group consciousness madness!
