"Mr. Gu, your proposal is very interesting, we will consider it..."

"Mr. Gu, we are very willing to cooperate with you, but..."

"Mr. Gu, we hope that too, really, that's our wish too, but..."

"Mr. Gu, you have proposed a very beautiful idea, give us some time to think about it..."

"Captain Gu, the Spring Festival is coming soon, everyone is resting, we are not in a hurry these few days, let's talk about it after the New Year?"

It is already 2023, and Gu Jun has been working every day to promote the "Free Medical Care Plan for All Humanity" project.

The organization equipped him with a working team, all of which were elites in related fields, and also contacted top economists in the Tianxuan and Xuan circles, advocates of free medical insurance for all, and others for collegiate discussions. No matter how difficult it is, their team is doing this seriously.

This plan cannot only be viewed from the perspective of economic impact. It is striving for a healthier, more equal, and more united world, which is related to the dignity and safety of all human beings.

This is their purpose.

Departments in various countries, major pharmaceutical giants, sometimes through phone calls, remote video conferences, and sometimes face-to-face meetings, Gu Jun led his team around the world.

In a flash, it was half a month. The Spring Festival in 2023 comes very early, and three days later, January 21 will be New Year's Eve.

The "free medical care plan for all mankind" has not made much progress, and the small progress is mostly only in words. The biggest achievement is still the limited price reduction of some drugs promised by the pharmaceutical industry, and the promise of various countries to adjust their national medical insurance policies. Improvement, as for participating in covering the whole world and all mankind, there is not much interest.

Gu Jun and the others did not force it to happen in one fell swoop. Those countries that are capable can implement it in their own country first, which will be a huge improvement.

But this is still difficult. Even in Citigroup, the most developed, richest and most practical country in the world, their promotion is like throwing a stone into the sea, which cannot break any waves.

With a population of about 327 million people in Citigroup, about 85 million people are underinsured, 28 million people are uninsured, and these people enjoy terrible medical services.

Universal health insurance coverage has always been a major issue at Citigroup.

There are many voices advocating universal free medical care, but they have long been accused of being ambiguous and impractical.

How much does this cost? Where does the money come from? How to add tax? How to buy medical insurance? How much does each class cost

These are some of the most common and central questions about free healthcare for all.

For Citigroup, it still has a reliable economic research foundation and a realistic and feasible plan, which can be seen in the presidential election in recent years.

Advocates say lofty goals require workable policies. In the plan they researched and designed, after the implementation of universal free medical care, some aspects will save money. In fact, it will not cost too much money, but it will bring great improvement to people's health and form a virtuous circle.

In terms of taxation, it is natural to collect more taxes from capital and the rich, cancel subsidies to them, and let them bear more medical insurance costs; collect less taxes from the working class and vulnerable groups, give them more subsidies, and pay more. health insurance costs are lower.

In this way, everyone will enjoy high-quality medical services and live in a better society.

Enlarging the matter to the world and the two worlds of Tianxuan, the complexity of the plan will increase hundreds of times and thousands of times.

But at least in Citigroup, universal free medical care is feasible; in other countries, it is also feasible.

But it is necessary. Most people in the upper, middle, and lower levels are willing to make changes and implement them.

After coming to Citigroup, Gu Jun has been to the MO headquarters, to the FBM headquarters, to some other departments, to visit, to lobby, to clarify interests, and the most he gets is ambiguous treatment. He seemed to be still walking in a piece of rotten mud, not to mention striding forward, it was difficult to move his feet.

There are only three days left before the Chinese New Year, maybe it’s time to go back to that hometown, to go back to celebrate the festival, to visit Wu Shiyu’s house, to Cai Zixuan’s house, to get red envelopes...

It's just that Gu Jun couldn't relax. This lack of progress made it more and more difficult for him to fall asleep every night.

"Let's stay for another day, and go to a few more places." Gu Jun said to the team members, more support means more strength.

This evening, his itinerary was to attend a charity salon in New York City, where there would be many celebrities and rich people. They have great influence and driving force in Citigroup. If they can attract these people to join, it will be considered a good progress.

At the beginning of the street lights, the salon was held in a banquet hall in a luxury hotel in this bustling city.

Gu Jun attended as a doctor of the mobile task force of goa. He is also a celebrity now, and he has no problem walking the red carpet. It will only make the reporters have more topics. However, he entered through the side door of the hotel, avoiding the public eye. The organization has explained that it is necessary to act in a low-key manner and pay attention to the image.

However, the guests at the banquet knew that there would be someone like him coming, and some people attended because of this.

At this time, in the huge banquet hall, there were crowds of people and lively chatter and laughter. Gu Jun's English is quite good now, and he doesn't need an interpreter.

He looked around the brightly lit surroundings. The men were wearing formal suits, the women were wearing gorgeous evening gowns, the waiters walked through the crowd with wine trays, and plates of exquisite food were placed on the salon table. He, the man in the Goa uniform, is like a different kind.

"Hey, Mr. Gu!" A middle-aged male wealthy businessman first noticed him, and he called out in surprise. Suddenly, many people looked at him, smiling and full of interest.

Now the whole world knows the existence of "supernatural power", and Gu Jun is one of the best fighters in GoA.

"Hello." Gu Jun nodded to them, he was not afraid of such occasions, not to mention that when he was a rich man, he spent his days and nights, and the various experiences of the past two years made him unable to cause a ripple in his heart for such occasions.

On the contrary, he felt a little stuffy discomfort in his heart, and he didn't know the specific reason.

Maybe it's because there is no need for that much food to be put there, and no one here will eat that much, and it will only be thrown into the trash can and wasted.

At the same time, several gentlemen and ladies came over.

Gu Jun had seen the list of guests and recognized each of them, some were wealthy businessmen, some were movie stars, and some were celebrities. The political stances of these people are quite leftist, so it stands to reason that they are easy to fight for.

After getting to know each other and greeting each other, Gu Jun hastened to lobby, "Everyone, I want to talk to you about the 'Free Medical Care Plan for All Humanity'."

He had to abide by the principle of confidentiality, and did not disclose information such as the Mysterious World, the Black Goat, and the Society of Negative Choices, so he didn't need to say so much to make this claim.

This is not a novel idea, and we are committed to making the world a healthier place.

What is novel is the latter point, otherwise, global disasters and plagues will continue to come and become more and more serious, and everyone living in the world will not be able to stay out of it.

"We have the responsibility to save the world." Gu Jun said sincerely, while watching them nodding, "We get more, we have to give more."

"Of course, I agree with Mr. Gu's point of view." The middle-aged male wealthy businessman said loudly, "We absolutely have this responsibility."

"Yes." A female star actor also agreed, and everyone around nodded, "That's right. We can't make this world worse."

Gu Jun looked at them and said again: "Our team is exploring feasible solutions. The biggest problem is where the money will come from, so we need to raise enough money to promote it like a snowball, to give people confidence and gather strength. "

He paused, and said more solemnly: "Everyone, I sincerely invite you to sign and join this plan. We may first operate as a foundation. The plan has not yet been determined, and more suitable adjustments can be made. Once the first stage begins Action, which may require you to put 15% of your annual income into it."

These men and women who were nodding enthusiastically just now seemed to be stunned, and their voices stopped.

"Mr. Gu, you mean... 15% of the annual income is dedicated to this project? Other taxes will continue to be paid, and our taxes will increase?"

"Yes, we get more, we have to give more."

Gu Jun noticed that the expressions on the faces changed slightly.

Even star actors who know how to act very well can't hide a trace of embarrassment in their eyes.
