Vol 5 Chapter 45: Medical is a big problem

"Nicholas II wants a loan?" Ferdinand asked in surprise.
Queen Senia answered affirmatively: "Yes!"
Ferdinand asked with some wonder: "Why not go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or directly to the bank?"
Shenia looked at him with very aggrieved eyes, and said after half a ring, "If it is useful to find them? Will my proud brother find you?"
Ferdinand smiled awkwardly. He remembered the decision not to provide loans to the Russians. The Cabinet had reported to him that he had not expressed his position at that time and was approved by default.
"Then what is he planning to use for collateral? Don't talk about mineral resources. These things can't convince the cabinet. The 10 billion leva capital is not a small number. The risk of this business is too great!" Nan shrugged
Queen Shenia nodded and said, "I don't know. It's best to talk to him personally. I'm not in the middle of it!"
Ferdinand nodded, and indeed it was not convenient for Queen Senia to intervene in this matter.
"Well then, let Nicholas send a representative over to talk about it. The government has had a difficult time with such a large loan!"
Queen Senia nodded. Everyone knows that international loans in this era are always linked to politics. It is almost impossible to pass large loans without government endorsement.
Unless the royal family is willing to lend his own money to Nicholas II, no one can control it. Through bank loans, this involves the safety of depositors' funds, and the government must supervise them.
Let the royal family lend money directly to Nicholas II. It is impossible to think about it. If this is lied to, who can I justify?
Ferdinand is not stupid. The relationship between the two sides is not suitable for the conditions of the interview, or the Bulgarian government or its bank. The conditions for official negotiations are more suitable. As long as there are sufficient collateral, Nicholas II It doesn't matter if you can afford the loan!
Queen Senia also knows that as long as Ferdinand does not oppose in Bulgaria, the possibility of this loan being passed is very high. The civil relations between Bulgaria and Russia have always been very good, and there are also pro-Russians in the government. As long as the interests are guaranteed, everyone will not object to this loan!
Since the domestic stock market has not developed, ordinary Bulgarians no longer have other investment channels other than depositing money in the bank, so the deposits of the three major Bulgarian banks exceed any other bank in the world!
This is also the Bulgarian 10-year plan, the most important source of funding. Many government-invested projects are sold to banks by the Cabinet.
For example: Although the enterprises in power plants and steel plants are under the name of government investment, while allowing private capital to enter the industry, the cabinet naturally does not mind packaging to the three major banks.
Ferdinand did not mind approving the loan. There is another important reason. Nicholas II borrowed Lev, and they had to import goods to Bulgaria when they got the loan.
A large amount of export of goods is conducive to the development of domestic industry and commerce. Through the export of its subsidiaries, this loan has actually completed the reflow again. In fact, the loan of 10 billion levs only takes half of the risks, or Is even smaller!
...
The next day, Ferdinand went to the parliament to watch as usual. The host, Rolex Dodd, was still there to perform the show. After all, there were not many opportunities like this, and there were only a few days in the year. At other times, he was so busy !!
"The weather today is good, so let's start the meeting! Today's topic is medical health, and everyone may not be unfamiliar with this issue. The 'U.S. flu' just passed is enough to illustrate the importance of medical health!
The Ministry of Medical and Health submitted 26 plans this time, involving a total investment of 1.35 billion levs (about 54 million pounds).
Article 1: Establish epidemic prevention stations nationwide. The work of epidemic prevention stations includes prevention of sudden diseases, prevention of infectious diseases, prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. The total investment is estimated to be 130 million levs;
Article 2: Upgrade equipment of the Food Safety Supervision Bureau and increase crackdown on unqualified foods, with an estimated investment of 85 million levs;
Article 3: Establish a Drug Supervision Bureau to supervise the drugs circulating in the market, and vigorously crack down on counterfeit and unqualified drugs flowing into the market and endanger the safety of the people. It is estimated to invest 70 million levs;
Article 4. The equipment upgrade for public hospitals is expected to invest 100 million levs;
Article 5. The Ministry of Health has decided to implement free medical treatment for all retired officers and soldiers. This is an expansion of the free medical treatment for disabled officers and soldiers on the battlefield that we implemented before. It is estimated that the investment will be 380 million levs;
Article 6. Laying township hospitals for the whole country. Within ten years, we will have a hospital in each small town. The estimated investment is 180 million pounds.
...
Time to ask questions, please raise your hand if you have any questions!
Okay, sir, second in the third row, please ask questions! "
The man said with a bit of embarrassment: "Dear Mr. Carl, has the Ministry of Health ever considered free medical treatment for all people? We must know that people across the country are facing difficult and expensive medical care, and ordinary people simply cannot afford the huge medical expenses. ! "
Carl Landsteiner nodded and said, "The question raised by this gentleman has been considered by the Ministry of Health for a long time. Unfortunately, Bulgaria does not yet have the conditions for free medical treatment for our people, and our finances cannot afford this cost.
According to the statistics from our Ministry of Health, in the first half of 1921, the national medical expenditure was 2.63 billion levs. This figure also includes many people who give up treatment. If you want to get free medical treatment in fact, preliminary estimates The annual expenditure will not be less than 5 billion levs!
This number can already allow our government to declare bankruptcy, so there is no possibility of promotion in the short term! "
The man said unwillingly: "Is there no way? For example, tax increases, our government can completely solve the funding gap by increasing taxes!"
Carl Landsteiner said with a wry smile, "Sir, your economics is probably a failure. If this tax is evenly distributed to everyone, it is 125 levs per person. On the surface, this number is not large, but in reality Most people cannot afford it!
If it is added to the enterprise, after the cost has risen sharply, the enterprise will lose competitiveness internationally, and we will face the worst wave of bankruptcy, then the social crisis caused will be even more serious! "
The man fell into silence, and the meeting place fell into a state of silence. It was not that the government did not want to solve it, but there was no way to solve it. The medical treatment of face charges is a long-term problem that requires a large amount of investment every year. No solution exists!
The host, Rolex Dodd, broke the silence and said, "The problem of free medical care for the whole population cannot be solved now, but it does not mean that there is no way to solve it. This social problem has troubled the world for many years!
However, with the advancement of science and technology, the cost of our pharmaceuticals has also dropped sharply. In the future, our country will always be able to solve it. Let ’s continue our meeting now!
If in doubt, raise your hand!
Mr. penultimate row, please ask questions! "
The man asked: "Dear Mr. Carl, has the government considered setting up a pharmaceutical company by the state to promote it at a fair price, thereby lowering the price of medicines and making more people available for treatment?"
Carl Landsteiner thought for a while and said, "The proposal you mentioned does not meet the requirements for implementation. There are two problems we can't get around: the first problem-patents; the second problem is technological progress!
Once the government enters the pharmaceutical market, we also have to pay patent fees. At the same time, because of the decline in pharmaceutical profits, many companies will lose their incentive to continue investing. If they want to promote technological progress, the government can only invest the full amount, and these costs will be shared. On the price of medicine!
In the end, we will find that the government has invested a lot of money, and as a result, the price of medicines in the market still cannot fall, and it is totally worthless!
And the function of the government is not charity. We cannot invest too much money in a field!
This world is still a world of weak meat and strong food, and the survival of the fittest. Don't look at the international peace now, I can let Nanshan go. In fact, international contradictions are still severe, but temporarily suppressed!
It ’s what we should do when we are in distress, remember that our ancestors once said: If war comes tomorrow, do n’t be surprised, do n’t panic, this is the Balkans! "
Everyone's face sank ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Balkans have always been European gunpowder barrels, and they are the most frequently war-prone areas in the world. In the past one thousand years, there has been no war time. On average, it is said that every week There are war zones!
It also brought some people's fantasy back to reality. Bulgaria is still not strong enough. Although the enemy was beaten down, it does not mean that it does not exist!
The old will not go and the new will not come. Who can tell the future? Ferdinand is also in deep thought. Perhaps he is still too optimistic. Who is sure that the current international order will not be broken?
At least the colony is a hidden danger. Of course, the US and the Soviet Union have not intervened. The colonial independence movement has not yet begun. It will not erupt in 30 to 50 years. It does not mean that it will never erupt. It seems that it should start to plan ahead.
