Golden Fishery
One thousand three hundred and forty-nine. No medical treatment for the whole people
"Thank you for your melon baby fund, Mr. Qin, your fund saved my baby's life." The man said gratefully, and the woman holding the child nodded in gratitude.
Qin Shiou understood that the couple's children had been favored by his Melon Baby Fund, and came here to thank him.
Sure enough, the man then introduced himself, his name is Clayson Frank, and his son was born four months ago, but the baby suffered from lung failure and needed a high amount of money for treatment.
Some people may wonder, isn't it that Canada implements a free medical system? Then why do people need to pay for medical treatment, especially for infants?
Indeed, Canada implements a free medical system, and all expenses incurred by bulls in the hospital are free, including food during hospitalization. But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, if you want to enjoy this benefit, you have to pay taxes and buy compulsory medical insurance, which costs about 500 Canadian dollars per person per year.
At first, Qin Shiou thought that the Claysons didn't pay for the medical insurance, which was directly linked to benefits, and those who had a job paid for it, and those who didn't have a job had to pay for it themselves.
If there is no job, it is not realistic to buy insurance in Canada, because what people want to buy is not one kind of insurance, but a bunch of them: such as medical insurance, education insurance, unemployment insurance, pension insurance, car insurance, housing insurance, etc., a 500 Canadian dollars is not much, what about ten servings?
So as Qin Shiou learned more and more about Canada, he thought that this is not a paradise for ordinary people. Of course, as long as you have a skill and a job to make money, you can live well in this country and enjoy the benefits of this country. If so, life here is still very cool.
As a result, the Clarksons explained that it was not the reason. They had paid for medical insurance, and both of them had a job that could guarantee their income. The reason why they needed support from the Melon Baby Fund was the Canadian medical system.
It's the Canadian healthcare system. Qin Shiou has studied this issue. Last year, Omar, a fisherman in a small town, suffered from bladder cancer. They went to St. Johns to protest for this. At that time, he was unlucky to be elected as the leading brother.
Clarkson's children suffered from the same problems as Omar. That is the hospitals are overcrowded and they need appointments.
But isn't this nonsense? The children's lungs are failing, and they can't survive without the ventilator. How can I make an appointment and wait? But Canada is such a medical system, and there are children in front of them who are eager to undergo surgery. They have to make an appointment.
Obviously, an appointment is not acceptable, so the Clarksons thought of another way, asking a private doctor to treat them.
Here comes the problem,
Private doctors can work overtime to perform operations, but the operation fee and drug fee are very expensive-if you are treated by a private doctor, you will not enjoy free medical care. It takes nearly 20,000 Canadian dollars to operate on a child, and the couple don't have that much money...
Finally, they applied for the aid of the Melon Baby Fund—the fund that Qin Shiou won after he won the Northumberland Strait Winter Swimming Competition last year. In fact, he only has the naming rights, and this fund is more of a social donation. become. He only invested two hundred thousand Canadian dollars in it.
After some surgery, the child recovered, and now the couple came here to thank Qin Shiou.
The Claysons were invited into the room, and Qin Shiou introduced them to the composition of the fund, and finally said sincerely: "So, you should not thank me, but the society."
Clarkson said: "Yes, Mr. Qin, we need to thank all the kind people in the society. But the fund under your name is the one that helped us the most. Thank you so much for saving us."
With that said, he opened the backpack, which contained the gifts they bought.
It would be hypocritical for Qin Shiou to continue being polite. He patted Clarkson on the shoulder and said, "OK, I accept your thanks, but I will never accept gifts. Of course, I have other requirements for you. I hope that if you meet someone who needs help in the future, please Be sure to lend a helping hand."
The Clarksons wanted him to accept the gift. How could Qin Shiou do this? He called Wei Ni and asked her to come back for lunch, and then treated the two of them to a seafood meal.
This made the Clarksons very embarrassed, and when they came to thank them, they confiscated their thanks and ate a big meal.
As Daqin Seafood became more and more famous and more and more people knew about it, the Claysons knew how expensive the raw materials of the meal they ate were.
When eating, Winnie hugged the little melon onto the baby stool, and she could already sit and eat it with her little hands, without having to hold it every day.
The little girl was lying on the table, staring at the baby in Mrs. Clarkson's arms with big eyes, showing interest.
Mrs. Clarkson hugged her son and went to tease her. The little girl was about to grab it. This is her habit. When she encounters something she is curious about or likes, she just reaches out and grabs it.
Winnie quickly pulled her back, she had expected it, otherwise Mrs. Clarkson would be caught today with the speed of the little girl's flying claws.
Pulling back the girl's hand, Winnie smiled softly and said, "You can't catch this one, this is my younger brother."
Little Melon looked at Winnie, then stared at the little baby for a while, then became inexplicably happy, clapped her hands and shouted: "Brother, brother..."
Weini and Qin Shiou were pleasantly surprised. In the past period of time, since the little girl learned to say Daddy Mama, she hadn't learned any new words, but today she actually learned the word "brother".
After eating, Qin's father took the little girl away and teased her to learn the pronunciation of 'grandpa and grandma'. The little girl continued to be elated, and then continued to call 'brother'.
After dinner, Qin Shiou and the Clarksons were chatting with each other before telling Wei Ni about their situation. After hearing this, Wei Ni nodded and said, "My God, there are more and more problems with Canada's universal medical system. I'm also dealing with a tricky thing."
Qin Shiou asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's Pastor Green and Mrs. Green." Winnie said sadly, "They're in trouble."
It turned out that Pastor Green and his wife were in poor health and needed to use wheelchairs to move around. Qin Shiou knew that the old pastor had some health problems. When the church was rebuilt the year before last, his health was not very good, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Winnie said: "Dr. Odom thought that the pastor and his wife were not fit to survive alone, and suggested that they go to a nursing home. The two accepted this, and then went to the St. Johns Nursing Home to register. It’s the pastor’s wife, because Pastor Green has to be treated by Dr. Odom.” (To be continued.)
