Chapter 1370 (1/2)
”Thank you for your Melon Baby fund, Mr. Qin. Your fund saved my baby's life.” The man said gratefully, and the woman with the child nodded her thanks.
Qin Shiou understood that the couple's children had received the favor of his Melon Baby fund, and came to thank him.
Sure enough, the man then introduced himself. His name was clayson Frank. His son was born four months ago. As a result, he had the problem of infant pulmonary failure and needed high treatment money.
Some people may wonder, isn't it that Canada implements a free medical system? How can people pay for medical treatment, especially for babies?
Indeed, Canada implements a free medical system, and all expenses incurred by bulls in hospitals are free, including food during hospitalization. But there is a premise, that is, if you want to enjoy this benefit, you have to pay taxes and buy compulsory medical insurance, about $500 per person per year.
At first, Qin Shiou thought that Mr. and Mrs. clayson didn't pay the medical insurance, which was directly linked to welfare. Companies with jobs had to pay it, but they had to pay it themselves if they didn't have a job.
If you don't have a job, it's not realistic to buy insurance in Canada, because what people want to buy is not a kind of insurance, but a pile of insurance, such as medical insurance, education insurance, unemployment insurance, endowment insurance, auto insurance, residential insurance, etc. One $500 is not much. What about ten?
So as Qin Shiou knows more and more about Canada, he believes 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 welfare of this country. In this case, life here is still very cool.
As a result, Mr. and Mrs. clayson explained that this was not the reason. They paid medical insurance and both had a job that could guarantee their income. The reason why they needed the support of Melon Baby fund was the Canadian medical system.
The matter has been linked to the Canadian medical system. Qin Shi Gu has studied the problem. Last year, the town fisherman Omar suffered from bladder cancer. They also went to St. John's protest. He was also chosen to take the lead brother.
Clayson's children have the same problem as Omar, that is, the hospital is overcrowded and they need to make an appointment.
But isn't that bullshit? Children have lung failure. They can't live without a ventilator. How can they make an appointment? But Canada is such a medical system. There are children in front who are eager for surgery, so they have to make an appointment.
Obviously, appointment is not enough. The claysons thought of another way to ask a private doctor for treatment.
The problem is that private doctors can work overtime for surgery, but the operation fee and drug fee are very expensive - if they are treated by private doctors, they will not enjoy free medical treatment. It takes nearly $20000 to operate on the child. The couple don't have so much money
Finally, they applied for assistance from the Melon Baby Fund -- the fund Qin Shiou won after he won the championship in the Northumberland Strait winter swimming crossing competition last year. In fact, he only had the naming right. The fund was more made of social donations, and he only invested $200000 in it.
After an operation, the child recovered. Now the couple came to thank Qin Shiou.
Mr. and Mrs. clayson were invited to enter the house. Qin Shiou introduced the composition of the fund to them. Finally, he said sincerely: ”therefore, you should not thank me, but the society.”
”Yes, Mr. Qin, we need to thank all kind people in society,” clayson said. But the biggest help to us is the fund under your name. Thank you so much for saving us. ”
