    Pluto Recently, the author has heard the following opinions more than once in many meetings: volume purchasing and national medical insurance negotiation and access have greatly reduced the price of enterprise varieties, which is not good for enterprises The official blindly bargaining will only cause the enterprises themselves unable to recover the cost, which will affect the quality of purchased products Of course, the above point of view is not unreasonable It is not surprising that everyone in the industry has their own position on volume purchasing, but we all need to take environmental factors into account when we speak out our own views It's true that for the officials, it's suspected that they are endorsing their achievements to keep down the price of enterprise products However, if we don't suppress the previously inflated price from the perspective of the general environment, who can believe that this leader has the determination and confidence to carry out a huge reform of the medical system? What's more, whether it's the first round of "4 + 7" pilot at the end of the previous year, or last year's expansion of volume procurement and access to national health insurance negotiations, it's just a debt owed before making up We calculated that in 2018, there were 1.345 billion people participating in the national basic medical insurance, with the insured rate stable at over 95% The total income of the national basic medical insurance fund was 2.14 trillion yuan, an increase of 19.3% over the previous year, and the total expenditure of the national basic medical insurance fund was 1.78 trillion yuan, an increase of 23.6% over the previous year It is worth noting that the number of employees participating in medical insurance is 317 million, and the contribution is 1.35 trillion (accounting for 63% of the total contribution), and the expenditure of these working people is 1.07 trillion (accounting for 60% of the expenditure) In short, a considerable proportion of the group that pays more and spends less (the second wave of baby boomers) will start to retire in 2022, and will only spend money without paying And in the next few years, the trend will get worse We can infer that the income and expenditure of medical insurance fund will continue to be tense, or even break the balance, and the income will not offset the expenditure This is the main reason why the country has been collecting and negotiating medical insurance in the past two years The medical insurance fund may be at the bottom at any time Finally, as a republic led by the proletariat, our ruling people must give priority to the interests of the masses, not the capitalists There is no doubt that the masses benefit The price of medicine has been reduced At the same time, it has entered the medical insurance After reimbursement, the amount of money paid by individuals has been significantly reduced As for some people mentioned that the drugs are not produced and the hospitals are not purchasing, the author thinks that this problem does not exist Taking the access of medical insurance negotiation as an example, the 97 varieties that have been successfully negotiated are not all medical insurance varieties The vast majority of these 97 varieties are the varieties with good curative effect, high clinical demand, high popularity, and can solve the patients' disease problems Moreover, they also reserve a large amount of profit space for enterprises, which makes it impossible for enterprises to stop production For hospitals, especially public hospitals, the core interest is to treat diseases, followed by profits If the patients can't be cured every day, no one can stand it Even if the medical insurance is occupied, the hospital has to purchase goods.
