Follow-up nucleic acid testing and vaccinations for all employees. The government will not give up any patient or life. Maintain the life safety and physical and mental health of the people across the country at all costs and no remuneration.
The Chinese government bears all the treatment costs on its own
Since the outbreak last year, the national government has emphasized the strengthening of the domestic public health system, and the large-scale increase in nucleic acid testing and vaccination. The treatment of patients and all medical expenses incurred by patients will be fully borne by the state after the basic medical insurance and medical assistance are reimbursed and paid according to regulations.
According to incomplete statistics, the total medical expenses for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 across the country totaled 2.837 billion yuan, and medical insurance covered 1.631 billion yuan. According to calculations, the per capita medical expenses for confirmed patients are 20,000 yuan, for critically ill patients more than 150,000 yuan, and the medical expenses for critically ill patients are as high as hundreds of millions.
National large-scale free vaccination and nucleic acid testing.

China is united in the fight against the epidemic. Compared with the severe epidemic situation in the world, China's epidemic prevention and control and the support of the national government have been praised by the international community. At present, China's epidemic prevention and control has been normalized. If there is a confirmed patient in an area, the local medical institution will quickly carry out nucleic acid testing and screening of all this area, effectively avoiding the further spread of the epidemic.
Now the whole country has returned to normal life order,It has achieved a double harvest of epidemic prevention and control, economic development, and life operations. It attracted the international community to follow suit, and for a while, "China's anti-epidemic" swept the world.
The new crown epidemic has caused a huge impact on China, but China will return to normal life as soon as possible. Thanks to the country’s strong and rigorous epidemic prevention policy, the people of the whole country actively responded to the call of the country and obeyed the blockade of residential areas. Home isolation, etc.
The lovely medical staff of the Principality, the great motherland, and the people from all over the country who are actively cooperating make this country better and better. However, Western countries are still in the midst of a fiery epidemic.
The West blushed
The current epidemic situation in the United States is extremely severe, and this country seems to be overwhelmed by the epidemic. In the United States, it is a very happy thing for a confirmed patient to overcome the new coronary pneumonia, but the exposure of the treatment bill has made many people unhappy. Coupled with the news that the Chinese government will bear all the costs, the West blushes even more.
According to reports, Jenny, a COVID-19 patient in the United States, said that she received a $400,000 medical bill from the hospital as soon as she recovered and was discharged. Jenny was puzzled that before she was hospitalized, the hospital said that the government would bear the cost, and why she was required to pay it now. ?
Jenny said that before she was discharged from the hospital, her family received a call from the hospital. The current bill amounts to nearly 400,000 yuan. She explained to reporters that apart from the medical insurance payment, she still needs to pay 75,000 US dollars. Jenny said that not only these, but also the cost of first aid, ambulance, and various inspections, which are estimated to be 6000 US dollars. The U.S. government will not bear these costs, which shows that the U.S. is only a verbal commitment this time.
The U.S. government originally admitted to bear the treatment costs of confirmed patients,It will not be honored now. And there are many items on the bill that cannot be paid by medical insurance. For Jenny, she can use medical insurance to pay for most medical items. Most of the domestic medical expenses do not need to be paid by herself, but the reimbursement process is extremely cumbersome. Excluding Ms. Jenny, there are still nearly 28 million Americans in the United States who cannot pay through medical insurance, which means that most people in the United States are about to face huge medical expenses. What's more, in the first half of this year, nearly 20 million people were unemployed in the United States, leaving 5.4 million people without medical insurance.
Even if there is medical insurance in the United States, it has to face high medical expenses, not to mention there is no medical insurance. Now that the U.S. epidemic has caused overcrowding in hospitals, the U.S. government must soon be unable to bear the pressure brought by medical care.
India ushered in a financial crisis
This situation not only appeared in the United States, but the diagnosed patients in India were also heavily indebted and could not afford the huge medical expenses brought by medical assistance.
According to reports, in India, many patients have been put on ventilators due to their worsening conditions. Solaf, the 24-year-old son of an ordinary Indian family Anil Sharma, has contracted the epidemic. Although he is very weak, he is recovering. His father is helpless because of the huge medical expenses. India is slowly returning to normal life and order, but millions of people across the country cannot afford the cost of treatment for the epidemic, and most people in the country do not have medical insurance. They are forced to be involved in a cost nightmare. It is no exaggeration to say that for Indians, the scary thing is not the infection but the huge medical expenses.
The medical expenses incurred by the epidemic have destroyed India’s economy. India’s medical equipment is in short supply and the insurance system is imperfect. The domestic economic recovery is severely hampered. India's poor public health system with incomplete public insurance is devastating the country.
