Chapter 2498
By the end of October, the New Medical Security Reform had been a great success—at least, that was how things looked for now.
Because only those who urgently needed medical services and would otherwise face a life-threatening situation were allowed to make a one-time supplementary payment, everyone else was unable to pay the full amount in one go.
This meant that if someone was in poor health but not facing an immediate threat to their life, they had to dutifully make payments for three full months before they could use the new medical security system.
This also gave many people a sense of foreboding. No one could stay healthy forever. Once they fell ill and needed medical services, it meant they would need a large sum of money.
The annual fee was four hundred dollars, but it could potentially save them thousands, tens of thousands, or even more! Everyone knew how to do that math!
York State's Middle Class and wealthy families were the first to purchase it in full, and Lin Qi had also played a part in pushing things forward!
At the application centers, reporters discovered that Lin Qi was also standing in line. They witnessed him filling out the application form and signing it.
The reporters interviewed Lin Qi.
"Mr. Lin Qi, we all know you have more money than you could ever count. Why are you still willing to purchase Medical Security Service?"
Facing the cameras, Lin Qi spoke candidly about his reasons. "Although I'm very wealthy, that doesn't stop me from purchasing protection for my own health!"
"I'm very rich now, but what about the future?"
"People have to think a little farther ahead. Besides, the new medical security system is extremely appealing. Its potential value far exceeds what I'm paying for it."
