Seeing that Trump is demanding a 1,500% price cut from pharmaceutical companies, I actually quite agree with his approach. However, I think this will do nothing to reduce healthcare and health insurance costs in the United States! Trump often does stupid, ineffective things! However, a short-sighted person can't see their own folly! America has put the cart before the horse! America has no sense of right or wrong! For example, a CEO was caught having an affair with a subordinate at a coplay concert. Both the man and woman were having an affair! The male CEO has a wife and children, and the female coplay host has a husband and children. America is a country of "chaotic relationships"! Even more outrageous: the cheating CEO is actually suing the coplay host. I find that ridiculous! Does this CEO have any sense of shame? Their affair was caught on film, and they're suing for "invasion of privacy"! I think American education is terrible! They don't even have the most basic "civic education"! 1. What does it mean that this CEO was seen hugging and kissing in public? They don't care about anyone seeing their relationship; they're exposing their private life! They were cuddling at the concert, not in a hotel room! Being photographed in a hotel room is a true invasion of privacy! This CEO doesn't even understand basic laws; that's sheer ignorance! 2. How sexually horny is this CEO? Why did he have to do something at a concert that he could do in a hotel room or private office? Their affair was already wrong, but they openly did it at a concert. They're truly trampling on marital fidelity! If someone like that were in the leadership of a company, it would be a truly awful company! 3. I would boycott this CEO! This is because when a man is caught making a mistake, he sues the person who broke the news. This kind of man doesn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes. Not only is he shameless, he's a complete scumbag! What this CEO should do is apologize! Not sue the coplay! This CEO should apologize to his wife and to his employees because he's setting the worst example! This is just like Trump asking pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices. Why are healthcare costs so sky-high in the United States? Let's just assume Trump doesn't understand the healthcare system!
First, a medical bill consists of many components! As I mentioned, I majored in hospital management! A medical bill includes consultation fees, medications, and surgery! However, there's a rather outrageous phenomenon with American pharmaceutical companies: drugs in other countries are cheaper than in the US! What does this mean? If a drug costs $3 in the US, and you can buy it for $1 in another less-favored country (same brand, same formula, from the same factory), it's three times more expensive in the US! Why? There are many reasons for this price difference! Certain drugs are manufactured in the US, where labor and facility costs are higher than in many other countries. So, why are drugs made in the US three times more expensive than in other countries? Some specialty medications can even generate profits tens of thousands of times higher. Some specialty medications require highly specialized personnel to develop and research, and the cost of these high-end professionals is prohibitively high in the US. Is this why the price difference between US pharmaceutical companies' drugs is so significant? Remember, last year or the year before, I talked about the concept of "equal pay for equal labor"? Many people say that "equal pay for equal labor" will cause the country to regress! Is this true? It was the Lord Jesus who first proposed the theory of "equal pay for equal labor"! Remember those people who went into the vineyard? Those who came in the morning and those who came in between 5 and 7 pm received the same pay! Does "equal pay for equal labor" really mean $36 whether you work or not? Of course not! The purpose of "equal pay for equal labor" is to "control the gap between the rich and the poor." The gap between the rich and the poor is always the biggest source of chaos in a country! The gap between the rich and the poor is always a stumbling block for a country! The current gap between the rich and the poor in the United States is like the "caste system" in India. Without fundamentally changing the "institution of the gap between the rich and the poor," even if American pharmaceutical companies lower their prices, it will not solve the problem of high medical costs in the United States!!
First, can "equal pay for equal labor" be achieved? "Equal pay for equal labor" can be achieved! How can it be achieved? The country must master high-tech and expensive technology and resources! If the current medical system is state-controlled, and medical personnel are "trained" by the state, this will inevitably reduce medical costs! What everyone is most worried about is that the state's competitiveness cannot match that of the private sector! State-owned enterprises are not 100% state-owned, but rather have a certain degree of private ownership. Because they are 100% state-owned, they lose their competitiveness and lack innovation and creativity. The state can open hospitals and allow more doctors to join the management ranks. What does this mean? It means the state provides the equipment and resources to open hospitals, while doctors are like shop owners in the hospital mall. State-owned hospitals can provide all kinds of equipment and services, and doctors are solely responsible for treating patients, receiving a commission based on the profits! Each doctor and nurse "does their own job"! The doctor's prescription, price, and profit are irrelevant to the doctor; the state-owned hospital decides on the medications. Doctors specialize in diagnosing and examining patients, while specialized surgeons perform surgeries. Therefore, diagnosing doctors can only earn "diagnostic fees." Surgeons can only earn "surgical fees," and they cannot designate the surgeon. All examinations are conducted according to procedures, and none of the fees go to the "diagnosing doctors." The profit sharing of state-owned hospitals is based on the "principle of fairness"! This is the only way to eliminate corruption and waste. Doctors may require patients to undergo many unnecessary tests and surgeries due to their own profit chains! To eliminate corruption, we must evenly distribute the benefits! Why is corruption so rampant in the United States? Because there are so many monopoly and huge probifs industries in the United States! With so many monopoly industries, profits are naturally high, and therefore corruption is naturally rampant! National hospitals are a very new concept, and it shouldn't be practiced anywhere else in the world! I think China could easily implement this! China could apply this concept to high-tech and military sectors! China should prioritize the well-being of its people. After all, it's difficult to take care of 1.4 billion people, but we should strive to ensure that everyone can live happily in China! The military high-tech industry protects the people, but we can't dedicate all 1.4 billion people to it. People need food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The only way is to ensure equal pay for equal labor and minimize income disparities. This way, China can have a diverse range of talented people in all fields! This way, we won't have a surplus of talent, let alone a huge gap between the rich and the poor! The gap between the rich and the poor and class divisions will always be a cancer for the country and society!!
