Why is the “Pit the Old” scam repeatedly banned?
The existence of a large number of scams of “pitying the old” reflects the lack of mainstream elderly care services from one aspect, and the health care needs of the elderly have not been met as they should. In this regard, the state should speed up the “Healthy China” action, improve the national health policy, and provide the people with a full range of full-cycle health services. What the elderly need is not only high-quality medical resources and guarantees, but also health-preserving and health-care resources – treating diseases is not as good as preventing them. The formulation of policies should consider encouraging more social forces to invest in elderly care services, providing scientific and high-quality health and health care services for the elderly, and at the same time severely crack down on illegal businesses that deceive the hard-earned money of the elderly.
In view of the media usage habits of the elderly, the media industry should pay attention to the correct guidance of scientific health preservation for the elderly. At present, television and newspapers are the most important channels for the elderly in my country to receive information. For example, Beijing Satellite TV’s “Yangshengtang” program and CCTV-10’s “Healthy Road” program are important for many elderly people to improve their scientific health care literacy after dinner. way. In the face of the ever-prosperous “pit-old” scam, the mass media needs to “prescribe the right medicine” and launch more health care programs and columns to guide the elderly in scientific health care, and must not let bad money drive out good money.
Health care should ultimately rest in the family. The State Council’s “Opinions on Promoting the Development of Elderly Care Services” pointed out that home-based care is the basis of elderly care services; my country’s traditional culture has always respected the old-age and elderly-care habits with “filial piety” as the core. To improve the scientific literacy of the elderly, prevent them from being misled by unscrupulous businesses, and stay away from “anti-aging” scams, it is necessary for children to provide more support and help to their parents, and guide the elderly in scientific and rational health care with patience and energy. With the joint efforts of the state, society and family, it is possible to eradicate the soil that breeds the “old-fashioned” scam, so that the elderly can live happily ever after.
