I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

After retrieving the data, Yang Wen listened briefly to Deng Hang and others' reports on rural medical insurance in the unit's conference room.

“During this period, we also sent people down to visit people. Many people believe that medical insurance is indeed a good policy. It provides basic medical security for many people, reduces their medical burden, and enables rural residents to receive timely treatment when they are sick, thus avoiding the occurrence of poverty due to illness or relapse into poverty due to illness,” Deng Hang said.

Yang Wen nodded slightly after hearing this.

That's absolutely right!

In the past, many poor people couldn't afford medical treatment when they encountered serious illnesses.

Especially for serious illnesses that cost 70,000 to 80,000 or even more than 100,000 yuan.

But now there's reimbursement. For surgeries costing over 100,000 yuan, you only need to pay tens of thousands of yuan, and the rest can be reimbursed!

In this way, even if you have to sell your possessions or borrow money, you can come up with tens of thousands of yuan.

Without reimbursement, tens of thousands of yuan would indeed be a huge burden for ordinary people, and difficult to come up with!

At this point, Deng Hang continued, "Of course, some people have different opinions about rural medical insurance!"

"For example, the reimbursement scope of rural medical insurance is limited. Secondly, the reimbursement process for rural medical insurance is cumbersome, requiring rural residents to provide a large amount of supporting documentation, which causes great inconvenience to rural residents..."

Hearing Deng Hang's words, Yang Wen nodded slightly.

This guy's assessment is actually quite objective!

Soon after the brief meeting ended, Yang Wen and his men left with the photocopied documents.

……

Next, Yang Wen led his team to conduct research in several other towns.

They didn't return to the city until the third day.

"Yang Ke, the statistical data for Ronghe County, Xiyu Town, and several other towns has come out, but the data is not right. There are huge discrepancies with the data recorded by the county's Human Resources and Social Security Bureau!" Hu Heng handed a stack of documents to Yang Wen.

"Oh? Tell me about Taihe Village in Xiyu Town first." Yang Wen squinted.

Taihe Village was the first village they surveyed.

The village has more than 3200 people, of whom more than 2600 have paid into rural medical insurance!

“Currently, 321 people in Taihe Village are listed on the county’s Human Resources and Social Security Bureau website as not having paid rural medical insurance! But when we went to conduct research and visits a few days ago, these villagers clearly said that they had paid! I don’t believe the villagers would lie to us?” Hu Heng said in a deep voice.

“There are more than 2600 people in the village who have paid for medical insurance, but the county’s Human Resources and Social Security Bureau now shows that only more than 2300 people have actually paid for rural medical insurance. Where did the remaining 300 people go?”

"Could it be a program delay or a system delay?" Yang Wen asked.

For example, some people paid a few months late, so the system hasn't been officially transferred from the town to the county and entered into the system yet?

“Of course I thought about that too, but when I checked our previous survey data, the more than 300 villagers in Taihe Village who didn’t appear in the system had all paid their medical insurance premiums six months ago! I don’t believe that the town’s health clinic couldn’t sort things out and transfer them to the county in six months! Why are other people from the same village in Taihe Village transferred? Does the whole village have to be transferred in batches?” Hu Heng said meaningfully.

"Are most of these 300-plus people young and middle-aged?" Yang Wen asked casually.

"Huh? Yang Ke, how did you know?" Hu Heng exclaimed in surprise.

"Just guessing! I suspect some people might be receiving salaries without working and embezzling money!" Yang Wen said.

Is the situation the same in other towns?

"No! We surveyed a total of four towns, and the other two towns did not have this situation. Anyway, we surveyed how much the villagers paid, and we can also find out how many people have entered the system in the county."

“But in the last town we surveyed, we encountered a situation similar to that of Xiyu Town, where there was a huge discrepancy in the data.” As he spoke, Hu Heng handed the documents to Yang Wen.

After reading it, Yang Wen frowned deeply!

"Yes, well done. Thank you for your hard work these past few days, conducting research during the day and reviewing data at night." Yang Wen patted the other person on the shoulder.

"You all rest for a bit, I need to go see Director Wang!"

……

Soon.

Inside Wang Zeqing's temporary office.

As Yang Wen handed the compiled materials to Wang Zeqing, he reported, "Director Wang, after leading a team to conduct research for the past few days, we have discovered something that makes me quite suspicious!"

"Oh? Where?"

“Take our first village, Taihe Village, as an example…”

Then, Yang Wen recounted the whole story.

“Right now, we are only surveying one village in each town, and we have only surveyed four towns. However, in two of the four towns, there are cases where villagers say they have paid for rural medical insurance, but the county cannot find the records. And there are quite a few of these cases!”

"And they are mostly young and middle-aged people!"

"This is too strange!"

"Furthermore, we have verified that these payments that cannot be found in the county are not recent payments, but payments made several months or even half a year ago. Why haven't they been entered into the county's records after so long?"

"Are you really this slow at doing things? I don't think so!"

"There might be something fishy going on here!"

"Furthermore, during my research, I discovered that currently, much of the medical insurance payment work is handled by village doctors in the villages below the town, who collect the medical insurance payments from the villagers on their behalf. Of course, they also occasionally send people down to the village."

"Because it's convenient for villagers to go to town for various things, which is troublesome, they basically just pay their medical insurance at the village doctor's place. This has led to a very lax process!"

“It’s fine when there are invoices, but I’ve heard some villagers say that sometimes a bunch of people go to pay for medical insurance, which leads to the village doctor not having enough invoices. So they just write a temporary invoice by hand. There are quite a few loopholes in that!” Yang Wen said earnestly.

After listening to this, Wang Zeqing frowned deeply!

He's a seasoned veteran at enforcing discipline.

Judging from Yang Wen's description of the situation, there seems to be something fishy going on!

"If what you said is true, then the process of collecting medical insurance at the most basic level is indeed far too rudimentary."

"And they're only accepting cash! They can't even issue invoices properly..."

"Director Wang, I feel like some people are taking advantage of the chaos!" Yang Wen said, squinting his eyes.

"Furthermore, I only surveyed one village in each town and such outrageous things happened. What if I surveyed every village in the entire town?" Yang Wen added.
