Chapter 271: Chapter 245: Medical Reimbursement Policy

    It was precisely because of the influx of arge number of immigrants and the increasing involvemt of indigous people in agriculturalbor that, in 907, the total grain output of Austrsia broke through to a new high of 6.7 million tons since the establishmt of the nation.


    If we look at the currt per capita consumption of grain in Austrsia, the grain produced in 907 alone would be ough to support over 0 million people, let alone the various meats and dairy products brought by the developed animal husbandry in Austrsia.


    It is also due to the increasing number of immigrants and indigous people that the per capita cultivatednd area in Austrsia has increased by about %, ev with an increase in the agricultural poption.


    If the poption growth rate in 907 is maintained, it will take another five years for the poption of Austrsia to officially break through t million.


    There should be more than t million people before World War I, although notparable to other powers, but the poption issue is not so severe.


    More importantly, the proportion of British descdants in Austrsia has always be above the 70% qualified line, which is also a major factor in the stability of Austrsia.


    Also rising steadily is the per capita annual ie of Austrsia. Since Arthur came to Australia, the per capita annual ie in this region has be growing continuously.


    By the d of 907, the per capita annual ie in Austrsia had reached 43 Australian dors, with 44 Australian dors in the Australian region and 40 Australian dors in the New Zend region.


    The per capita ies of the two colonial regions of New Guinea and Dili were 35 Australian dors and 4 Australian dors, respectively.


    The per capita annual ie in Dili has little referce value, as Dili has only be a colony of Austrsia for a few months, and the most important task at prest in Dili is to restore order and stability.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    At prest, Australia and New Zend have sessively tered the dream of a happy life, and with their basic needs for food and clothing met, the medical and educational needs of the Australian people have also be well satisfied.


    Currtly, the people of Austrsia have gerally umted savings, and a considerable number of them have some assets.


    Under the patronage of the royal financial group, Austrsia has se the birth of arge number of petty bourgeoisie during this period, as well as arge number of small workshops and factories, and privately-run shops and stalls.


    These have also made a huge contribution to the economic prosperity of Austrsia, and they have also indirectly driv the developmt of the Austrsian economy.


    At prest, Sydney has three busiestmercial streets, with merchants from all over the world selling and promoting their products.


    With the economic developmt of Austrsia, its fame in Europe has be growing.


    This is also the reason why there are more and more European immigrants in Austrsia. With the guarantee of food, clothing, housing, and medical care and education, the attractivess of Austrsia to immigrants seems to be no less than that of the United States.


    Of course, the most attractive thing is that Austrsia not only has no ck chocte, but also has arge amount of indigousbor for free and can employ arge amount of indigousbor.


    Although it is in the form of leasing, after all, they also have oughbor to work for themselves. This makes the dream of many Europeans who want to be farm owners and factory ownerse true, as after all, being a capitalist themselves is much better than being oppressed by others in the United States.


    After all, the welfare policies for the Australian workers andmon people have long be spread in Europe and the United States, and many people have a good impression of Arthur, a monarch who strives to protect the interests of themon people, ev if they live in a free republic.


    Ev in countries like Britain and Germany that are recognized as world powers, people cannot guarantee that their treatmt will be as firmly protected as the treatmt of people in Austrsia.


    Although the ie of Austrsian workers is notparable to that of the powerful nations, they do not have to worry about wage deductions, oppression, or exploitation.


    Not only will they receive their wages on time, but Austrsian workers will also joy legal holidays, triple overtime pay on holidays, and befits such as holiday blessings and celebration gifts.


    After all,rge factories have arge number of indigousborers to exploit, so they naturally don''t have to take a lot of risks to exploit those workers.


    Indigousbor is so handy to use, you don''t have to worry about their lives, they don''t have to worry about food wh they''re in a bad mood, and every time an indigous person dies, the governmt will sd a new one to rece them, so there''s no need to worry about a shortage of indigousbor.


    After all, the areas currtly controlled by Austrsia alone have millions of indigous people, and the number of indigous people in the Dutch East Indies and Southeast Asian regions reaches hundreds of millions, so the rate at which Austrsia consumes indigous people ispletely iparable to the rate at which they reproduce.


    At prest, the region where indigous people are most frequtly used in agriculture is the New Guinea Colony. The New Guinea Colony has only more than 30,000 people, but has as many as 0,000 indigous people gaged in agriculturalbor.


    New Guinea''s agricultural output ounts for one-thirteth of the total output of the Kingdom of Austrsia, reaching about 50,000 tons.


    Just the agricultural products produced in New Guinea alone are ough to support the three regions of New Guinea, Dili, and New Zend.


    More importantly, New Guinea has arge area, and the developmt of arablend has only just begun.


    If several hundred thousand indigous people are invested in this area, it could be the granary of Austrsia. By that time, the output of New Guinea alone would be ough to support a poption of  million.


    Thanks to the domestic grain output, Austrsia has currtly established one or morerge grain warehouses in every province except for Dili. Thergest one is Newcastle grain warehouse in New South Wales State, with a storage capacity of more than 00,000 tons, which can meet the annual grain demand for millions of people.


    The reason for therge scale of Newcastle grain warehouse lies in the limited area of the Capital Territory, which naturally ces greater emphasis on industrial and economic developmt.


    The Sydney grain warehouse in the Capital Territory has a storage capacity of only about 0,000 tons, so part of Newcastle grain warehouse is prepared for Sydney as well.


    Austrsia''s domestic grain warehouses together have a total storage capacity of close to .5 million tons, ough to feed six million people for a year in theory.


    Considering the developed animal husbandry in Austrsia, ev if there is no grain output in a year, there is no need to worry about any famine.


    Wh the grain in the warehouse is full, it will be sold to neighboring countries in need of grain, and the vacancy will be replished with new grain.


    After all, food does notst long; it is not only prone to mold and insects but also experices a significant decline in taste and ure.


    At prest, annual grain exports can bring a lot of ie to Austrsia, particrly during the East Asia famine period wh grain exports earned them a fortune.


    Of course, it is due to the abundance of domestic grain production and the developmt of animal husbandry that food and meat products in Austrsia have always had low value, making it verymon for people to eat their fill and eat meat there.


    Actually, the number of hospitals has not changed a lot, since building hospitals requires not only arge amount of funds but also expericed doctors to run them.


    However, the Ministry of Health did not remain idle in 907. It issued a medical policy that greatly relieved people''s burd in medical treatmt.


    For instance, if the single medical treatmt cost exceeds 0 Australian dors, it can be included in the Austrsian medical reimbursemt range.


    The reimbursemt scope gerally does not exceed 30%, but at least % should be provided.


    If the single medical treatmt cost exceeds the local per capita annual ie, the reimbursemt scope gerally ranges betwe 0% and 40%.


    If the single medical treatmt cost is twice or more than the local per capita annual ie, the reimbursemt scope gerally ranges betwe 40% and 50%.


    This policy mainly takes care of patits with major illnesses, allowing most Austrsians to have the possibility of treatmt wh facing severe illnesses.


    After all, having a serious illness is still a heavy burd for most Austrsians, as most family savings in Austrsia do not exceed 0 Australian dors.


    As for medical treatmt costing less than twty Australian dors, although the governmt has some welfare policies, the reduction ratio is gerally below 5%.


    After all, it is moremon to have various minor illnesses, and if too much is reimbursed, it will also be a problem for the governmt''s finances.


    Although the intsity of the reimbursemt policy does not seem so great, it is rare in today''s world.


    It is precisely because of such medical befits that Austrsians are very proud of their country and governmt and always remember the changes that Arthur brought to their lives.


    Of course, this is also an important reason for hancing Austrsia''s attractivess to immigrants. Such medical prefertial policies are very rare, ev in top powers like Britain and Germany, which would not dare do so.


    The reason why Austrsia issued this medical policy is that 50% of the welfare policy is funded by the royal family.


    It is equivalt to the governmt only needing to pay half of the money, and Austrsia currtly has a small poption, so the financial burd is not too significant.


    However, such medical welfare conditions are very attractive to Europeans.


    Ev the Europeans who pride themselves on being civilized would not dream of introducing such prefertial policies in their countries.


    Because it is a huge burd on national finances, ev a little carelessness could lead to national bankruptcy.


    More importantly, it is maybe possible for a country to afford such welfare treatmt policy, but it''s easy to go from frugality to extravagance and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.


    In the future, if the governmt wants to change the policy, it would depd on whether those who joy the policy agree or not.


    This is the real reason why most European countries are still indiffert ev though they know that doing so would greatly rally popr support.


    If the currt shortage of medical supplies, especially medicines, can be resolved, more than half of the medical problems in Austrsia would be solved.
