Panel 2: The speaker continues, introducing a new medical system named "Dr. Bees." The background shows a large visual display of a beehive.

Panel 3: The speaker explains that every citizen will receive a specific amount of healthcare, after which their only doctor will be "Dr. Bees," who is depicted as a beehive that always prescribes bees.

Panel 4: The speaker predicts a significant decrease in usage of healthcare due to fear of bee stings and related health risks. A visual of a worried character appears, emphasizing the concern.
