Don't abuse health insurance.

Excitedly running to buy her grandchild a winter and spring coat to prepare for the cold weather, Mrs. Luong heard someone calling from behind:

- Where are you going in such a hurry, Mrs. Luong? Wait for me!

Without needing to turn around, she already knew it was Mrs. Vuong:

- Oh, I'm going to buy a shirt for my grandchild. It's getting cold, grandma. If you're not careful, children can easily get sick. Where have you been?

- I came back from the doctor. Hey, do you take iron? I'll give you a box to supplement your iron. Take it to help with your anemia.

- Oh, where did you get the medicine that you gave me?

- Well, I came back from a health check-up. They gave me some that I didn't finish last time. Now I'm giving it to you. I still have some at home.

- I'll ask, but if I remember correctly, you just went for a medical check-up, right?

- That's right. Every few weeks I go for a check-up, get my health checked, and get free medicine. At this age, everyone is anemic, iron deficient, calcium deficient... When I go for a check-up, I get medicine, so I don't have to buy it. I keep going for check-ups, get medicine, if I can't finish it, I give it away, if not, I save it so I can use it someday.

- I know that, but I see you go to the doctor too much. It's not a serious illness, and the medicine you brought home didn't take in time, what if it expired?

Seeing Mrs. Vuong hesitate, Mrs. Luong slowly said:

- I see that the recent storm and flood caused a lot of damage to the people in the Northern mountainous region. The recovery process will probably take a long time. There is a shortage of everything, especially medicine to prevent diseases after the storm and flood. I think it is right to worry about your health, but you should not rely on having insurance to abuse it. The medical team and doctors who examine you also spend time and effort, while many people need them more. And the medicine given to you, you do not use it, then you give it away is also a waste. I think it is not right.

Hearing Mrs. Luong say that, Mrs. Vuong seemed to hear:

- Yes, you're right. I'm too selfish, only thinking about myself. I'll learn from my experience. Today I went to the doctor and kept complaining about joint pain. They gave me an extra bottle of calcium. I'll give it to you so you can supplement it. I still have some at home. Consider it as you helping me take it. From now on, I won't go to the doctor and ask for medicine randomly like that anymore.

Seeing her friend understand, Mrs. Luong smiled:

- If you say so, please forgive me. Okay, let's go home quickly, or we'll catch a cold from the wind.
