Chapter 290: The Hospital Play of the Holy Lord (5)
Of course, the four major hospitals that are in dire straits are not just one place.
Since there are hospitals in each region, the number is quite significant, and although they are all general hospitals, they are not all upper-level general hospitals. This is natural.
A general hospital must have at least 100 beds, and if it has more than 300 beds, it must have a surgical department.
If it does not reach 300, three departments from internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery are required.
However, general hospitals with over 300 beds had their surgery departments completely eliminated, and general hospitals with less than 300 beds had three other departments destroyed in addition to surgery.
“We have lost the general hospital qualifications under the Medical Act. How long are you going to leave it like this? Please hurry up and enforce the strict law. This is why civil servants are called lazy. As a basic member of the National Assembly, who is also a quasi-civil servant, I cannot help but feel regret.”
“Mr. Congressman……”
“Look at this.”
Then Ha Soo-young handed over a thick envelope.
On the outside, in large letters, was written the word ‘Indictment’.
“If the strict enforcement of the law is delayed any longer, I will have no choice but to immediately sue the Ministry of Health and Welfare in the administrative court for lazy administration.”
“Please fix it a bit….”
“I’m more calm and collected now than I’ve ever been.”
The minister recalled the vice minister’s explanation.
The swimming group wants to monopolize food, semiconductors, electricity, communications, and even medical care.
“Now, please do what you must do as a high-ranking public official. I will be watching.”
***
The voices of protesters calling for liberalization of the medical market grew louder day by day.
There were even voices calling for Ha Su-young to be given a lifetime position as the chairman of the National Health Insurance Corporation, and such calls were met with wild applause.
Politicians believed that the swimming group was secretly fanning such public opinion behind the scenes.
They have also been doing this kind of massage-style production through statistical manipulation and public opinion manipulation for a long time, so it was natural to assume that Ha Soo-young would do the same.
“Who in our country isn’t using Freedom right now? Even if the Freedom phone is expensive and unusable, everyone is using the Freedom app.”
“If Freedom is determined to tame its users, we have no choice but to fall for it.”
“The Yeouido Institute has declared that there is no political engineering propaganda tool that can defeat Freedom.”
“No one will listen even if we talk for a hundred days. We have entered an era where everyone, whether children, adults, or the elderly, assumes that Freedom is the same when it says something.”
Freedom does not advise on politics, religion, ethics, or illegal matters, but politicians and businessmen have decided to do so.
This phenomenon is now being created by Freedom.
They are also users of Freedom.
However, it is only used for official schedule management that does not matter if it is known to others.
I never ask Freedom or let him manage my personal matters.
Politicians and businessmen always turn off their cell phones when they are meeting their concubines or at other times when they absolutely do not want others to know about them.
I don’t trust just disabling the Freedom app, so I just turn the power off.
There were even cases where they couldn’t believe it and wrapped it in soundproofing material and put it in a dark corner.
The reason I use Freedom despite all the inconveniences is because it is so convenient and capable for things I can do on my phone in my daily life.
“They are demanding that the general hospital’s qualification be revoked in Cheongdam-dong. What should I do?”
“This is just too much. What crime did the patients admitted to that hospital commit?”
“Isn’t it true that the people who claim to be working for the medical community are actually threatening patients with knives?”
It is not at all the case that the hospital will go out of business or that medical services will be disrupted just because the general hospital label is removed, but those who think such things have kept their mouths shut.
It was an atmosphere where it was not right to patronize Cheongdam-dong these days.
“What does Rep. Rohan say?”
“It’s always the same. He tells me not to associate what he does in Cheongdam-dong with him.”
“Oh, come on. You have to make sense.”
The opening of the medical market was a major undertaking that the political world had been cautiously pursuing for a long time at the request of conglomerates.
The conglomerates make steady, large profits from the medical industry, and in return, politicians secretly receive money from the conglomerates.
The reason why such a business idea could not be realized for a long time was because the public’s antipathy was so strong.
If you touch it wrong, the cat will end up with the bell that you put around its neck, and others will enjoy the fruits of its labor.
Because of this, a stable flow of people just watching and not taking action has been maintained for a long time.
But who would have thought that that long-held dream would come true in vain like this? And who would have thought that the fruits of that dream would go to the wrong guy?
Among the politicians in Yeouido, there was no one bold enough to demand or receive something from Ha Soo-young.
He was completely different from other tycoons. He was closer to a warlord than a tycoon.
He was already the de facto head of state of the new Korea (China). If you mess with him, his entire family will be ruined.
Everyone felt it clearly during the last military prosecution coup. It was a natural disaster.
“How about trying this?”
“What good ideas do you have?”
“We are taking corrective action against each hospital and punishing them severely. To be exact, we are just pretending to do it. In the meantime, we are buying time.”
“No, I can talk like that even after drinking five bottles of soju. It’s not a fundamental solution, is it?”
“It’s about finding a weak point by buying time. Who wouldn’t get dusty if they were shaken off?”
“What? Are you saying we should raid Cheongdam-dong right now? No, what is this….”
His fellow lawmakers were angry.
If you talk nonsense and do it in a new way, you’ll be less angry. This isn’t some old-fashioned way of beating yourself up over the head…
“I’m not saying that we should rob Cheongdam-dong. I’m not the type of person to throw my fist at a cliff. What I’m talking about are the doctors who have changed jobs.”
“The doctors who changed jobs…?”
“Yes. Of course, the fact that you have entered politics must be kept secret. It must never be revealed.”
“But if the tax investigation or whatever is going on only targets doctors who have changed jobs, then it’s inevitable that Cheongdam-dong will find out about it, right?”
“So, we need to come up with an excuse that no one can see is strange. As you all know, there are so many problems with medical treatment these days. There are many cases where they prescribe careless prescriptions to nylon patients and then charge them medical expenses.”
“Hoo……”
“We’re going to crack down on the corporation’s money, which has been leaking out, under the pretext of investigating it all. There’s no need to specifically target the doctors who moved to Cheongdam-dong. We’re going to crack down on everyone fairly and amicably.”
Fellow lawmakers nodded and patted Deok.
“If we just get everything out on good terms, there’s less room for suspicion.”
“If we can make sure that the cause is clear, we will also be able to enjoy the policy publicity effect of overhauling the medical system on a large scale.”
“Let’s give it a try.”
“Isn’t this the kind of thing in Cheongdam-dong where even if someone notices our intentions, we can’t do anything about it? Hahaha.”
***
The bigger the scale, the more money is lost. This is an eternal truth.
The health insurance system has many malicious consumers who take advantage of its loopholes.
It is now a common occurrence that is no longer a joke to see people who are not seriously injured in an accident receive unnecessary and excessive treatment in order to receive insurance money or hospitalization benefits.
In order to protect the four major general hospitals, the political world implemented a counter-fire operation that set the entire medical community on fire.
[We will stop the money leaking out of health insurance finances!]
[Ministry of Health and Welfare, Finding All Leaks in Health Insurance Finances Over the Past 10 Years! Conducting a Comprehensive Investigation!]
[Doctors, are you shaking now?]
It was a nuclear bomb dropped on the medical community.
The public was happy to see that the National Assembly was finally doing its job properly without knowing the full details.
On the surface, the justification was perfect, and even the practitioners who were pushing for the investigation were unaware of the true intentions behind it.
Even the working-level staff accepted it as such, thinking that the political world had finally decided to roll up its sleeves and catch the thieves.
***
The atmosphere of the swimming hospital was divided into two categories.
Doctors who had been working since the days of the predecessor, Yoon Hospital, were not anxious at all. Those who had moved relatively early after the hospital changed to Suyeong Hospital were also relatively less anxious.
However, doctors who recently changed jobs during the large-scale scouting season felt needlessly anxious.
“What if I make a mistake here and the whole hospital blames me for it?”
“Ha, if I had known this would happen, I should have at least pretended to catch you. Did I just shake you off so coldly…….”
“This is driving me crazy. If anything weird comes out, the hospital will never say anything good.”
In particular, doctors who worked at large hospitals suffered from greater anxiety.
I couldn’t help but worry that my former employer would use this incident as an excuse to place blame solely on me. The larger the hospital, the more it resembled a large corporation, and the more intense the internal politics were.
***
Wang Se-kyung opened her mouth as soon as she received the report from Executive Director Ko Chang-sik.
“Isn’t this a plot to hit the doctors we scouted?”
“Right now, not only the doctors who are changing jobs but also the entire industry is caught up in the explosion, but I think the Vice President’s guess is correct.”
“The intention is right, but the reason it’s being done at a time like this is obvious.”
Wang Se-kyung and Ko Chang-sik were not fooled like other people.
If there’s smoke, there’s definitely a fire.
If smoke comes out of the chimney, there is a fire under the chimney.
“On the surface, it seems that other hospitals, especially the four major general hospitals, are more active than the doctors who transferred to our hospital, so it is difficult to easily guess their cunning intentions.”
“But smart friends will keep their mouths shut while judging the situation.”
“That’s right.”
“It came out like this. I’m really thankful.”
When Wang Se-kyung smiled as if it was nothing, Go Chang-sik’s heart started pounding for the first time in a long time.
The thrill of watching the Segyeong Group grow in real time while assisting Wang Segyeong came back to me.
“Vice President, how should we act? Just give us the orders.”
“What do you want to do, Executive Director Koh?”
“If we hit their exact intentions, a mud fight will start. Then they’ll panic and say, “Oh, hot!” There will be gaps here and there, and it’ll be easy to divide them.”
“Mud fights are okay. People hate them because they’re messy and don’t end well, but there’s nothing more satisfying than a full-blown fight.”
Wang Se-gyeong’s expression became detached for a moment as if she was reminded of old times, then returned to normal.
“But there’s one thing I realized while hanging out with the chairman.”
“What is that?”
“The game isn’t about fighting the way I want to.”
“Yes? Of course, I should fight in a way that I want and that is advantageous to me. That’s what it says in military strategy.”
Wang Se-gyeong shook her head.
“It’s much more important to fight in a way that makes your opponent sick and tired.”
“……ah.”
Funnily enough, Go Chang-sik gained a lot of insight from that one sentence.
“Now that they’ve come out with health insurance, shouldn’t we throw some garbage at them?”

[Breaking News! Ha Soo-young Medical Foundation Announces Medical Insurance Plan Promoted by the Foundation!]
[The era of private insurance replacing national insurance has begun!]
Wang Se-gyeong trapped the frames put forward by the enemies with a larger frame.
It feels like a lie that the uproar that had been going on until yesterday is over, as no one has mentioned the National Health Insurance Corporation’s comprehensive investigation.
