Chinese nationals can enjoy free treatment after returning home.
The medical expenses of the identified patients are covered by the finance including 60% of the central government subsidy after paying according to the medical support and other rules. For the treatment cost of the suspected patients, the medical institutions will set up a policy of subsidy according to the rules and the central government will provide the subsidy according to the need. Speaking at a press conference, Hou Zhenlin, Director General of the Social Security Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, pointed out that the protection of medical expenses is now sufficient and people will not be delayed in treatment due to medical expenses. Through the state's financial support, all patients with new cases of suspected coronary heart disease can receive immediate treatment. Do people in the United States continue to enjoy the same support?
In the United States, it costs $3,500 (about $24,263) per test to check for a new virus. A single test for a family of five can cost as much as $120,000, making it unaffordable for the average family. Wilma, the director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said that the U.S. Medicare and Medicaid will cover any costs associated with testing for the new coronavirus, CNN reported. In Wilma's mouth, paying for any costs involved in testing for new coronaviruses is incorrect. Earlier media reports stated that an American man went to the hospital to be tested because he was worried about contracting a new coronavirus. Fortunately, the test results indicated that he only had the common flu. Unfortunately, he received a bill for $3,270 and, excluding health insurance, he still had to pay $1,400 (about 9,751 yuan).
Tests and treatments are expensive and painful in the United States. A netizen asked: How will we treat overseas Chinese when they return home? The answer is yes, not only treatment, but free of charge. Overseas Chinese are natural persons with Chinese nationality who have settled abroad, and overseas Chinese are also Chinese citizens. They enjoy the rights and obligations of Chinese citizens in accordance with the law, which means that overseas Chinese also enjoy the right to free treatment. Upon learning of the outbreak of the new virus in China, overseas Chinese from all over the world will do their best to utilize all their resources to bring medical supplies to China. When overseas Chinese are in trouble, China will always be your warm harbor.
