【中國日報記者】

謝謝，總理你好。在本次兩會開始之前，我們發起了一個“我向總理提問”的網上投票調查。截至到目前，有大量網友參與了投票，選出了十大問題，和民生都緊密相關。目前來看，排在第一位的是加快推進醫保的全國聯網。有1000多萬網友把票投給了這個問題，他們也許正在看直播，等待您的回答。那么我的問題就是總理，對于解決這個問題，您有沒有一個時間表？謝謝。
China Daily: Ahead of the two sessions this year, China Daily and its app conducted an online voting survey, in which 24 million netizens participated. All the 10 questions on the survey are closely connected with people's daily life. Top of the list was how to achieve national portability of medical insurance schemes, which received 10 million votes from netizens. Mr. Premier, is there a timetable for us to achieve national portability of medical insurance?

首先要感謝你們運用網絡投票的方式來了解民生的難處，給政府出題，這也是幫助政府改進工作。你剛才講的事情我也經常聽到。有些老年人退休以后和子女在異地生活，還幫助照看第三代，但是生病住院了還得回到原來工作的地方去報銷。這些事情看起來是具體的事，但對碰到這個事的人或家庭，有可能就是天大的事。
I want to first thank you for conducting the survey, asking the people what the top concerns are in their daily lives. That will certainly help the government do its job better. I've also heard a lot about the retired elderly people moving to places away from their hometowns to live with their children. And they are even taking on the responsibility of taking care of their children's children. But when they get sick or hospitalized, they cannot easily get their medical expenses reimbursed in places where their expenses occur. It may seem a very concrete and specific issue. But when viewing it in the context of one single family, it could be a paramount issue.

政府下決心要推進全國醫保聯網。要在今年基本解決省內就醫異地直接結算的基礎上，爭取用兩年時間，使老年人跨省異地住院費用能夠直接結算，使合情合理的異地結算問題不再成為群眾的痛點。當然，這需要我們各有關部門下大力氣。我們執政的目的是為什么？出發點和落腳點還是為了改善民生，就是要讓群眾對民生的呼聲和要求，倒逼我們的發展，推動和檢驗我們的改革。謝謝大家。
The Chinese government is fully determined to achieve national portability of medical insurance schemes at a faster pace. This year we will basically achieve direct settlement of such expenses at the provincial level. And we also plan to use two years of time to achieve the direct settlement of hospitalized expenses by retired elderly people in places away from their hometowns, so as to remove this high concern in the minds of our people. This requires that all relevant government departments make tremendous efforts. All the government's work is to improve the well-being of our people. So we need to use the concrete wishes for a better life by our people to drive our development, and reform and test the results of our reform.

請教，臺灣今年政黨輪替，有輿論認為，政黨輪替之后可能會對兩岸關系未來的發展帶來一些不確定性。請您談談您對今后兩岸關系前景的一些看法？請問大陸方面會不會繼續推出促進兩岸經濟合作、有利于民生的新措施？謝謝。
CTI Television Incorporation: There has been a change of ruling party in Taiwan this year. There is a perception that the change will bring uncertainty to cross-Straits relations. I would like to ask for your opinion about the prospects of cross-Straits relations. Will the mainland introduce more measures that will help boost cross-Straits relations, business cooperation and improve people's livelihoods?

兩岸關系的和平發展確實造福了兩岸民眾，兩岸經濟社會關系也在不斷密切，而且需要良性互動。我記得去年我到福建考察，曾經開了一個臺商座談會，不少臺商對大陸出的經濟舉措很敏感，很多人都擔心對臺灣投資企業的優惠政策會不會改變，我們聽進去了，回來就發了文件，明確對臺灣投資企業已有的優惠政策不得改變，要給定心丸。我們為什么這么做？因為我們是同胞啊。
Peaceful development of cross-Straits relations is in interest of people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. Economic and social ties between the two sides are also becoming increasingly close, and there needs to be sound interaction between the two sides. Last year, I paid a field trip to Fujian province, where I had a round-table with some Taiwan business people. Many of them were quite sensitive about any economic measures from the mainland and some were considering whether the preferential policy for Taiwan businesses will be changed. Their point was well taken and we quickly issued a document specifying that all the introduced preferential policies for Taiwan businesses will remain unchanged to make them feel reassured. Why did we do that? Because we are all members of a big family.

我們還會繼續推出有利于兩岸經貿合作的舉措，當然前提是要保持兩岸的和平發展，基石還是“九二共識”。只要遵循這一政治基礎，大家都認同屬于一個中國，可以說什么問題都好談。我對兩岸關系和平發展的前景是樂觀的，我們之間的血脈是分不開的。我相信兩岸經貿關系的發展也會造福兩岸民眾，改善民生。謝謝！
We will introduce more policies to boost business cooperation between the mainland and Taiwan on the premise that there will be continued peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and the footstone of it is the 1992 Consensus. As long as one adheres to the political foundation of the 1992 Consensus and recognizes it, that both mainland and Taiwan belong to one and the same China, anything can be discussed. I for one feel opmistic about the future of peaceful development of cross-Straits relations. There is a strong tie between the two sides that cannot be severed. I also believe that closer business cooperation could bring benefits to people of both sides.
