前不久,有媒体报道南京江宁的一例H7N9禽流感患者为治病已陆续花费10万多元,家属难以支付高昂的医药费;而安徽滁州的患者家属也表示,已为治病花光积蓄。禽流感患者的医疗费用该由谁出?是由政府埋单,还是由患者依靠个人医保、商业保险承担?此前,国家卫生和计划生育委员会要求,医疗救治费用按照规定渠道解决,严禁因费用问题延误 Not long ago, some media reported that a patient with H7N9 avian flu in Nanjing Jiangning had spent more than 100,000 yuan to treat the disease, and the family members could not pay high medical expenses. The family members of the patients in Luzhou, Anhui Province, also said that they had spent money for treatment. Who should pay for the medical expenses of the avian flu patients? Is it because the government pays the bills or whether the patients rely on personal medical insurance or commercial insurance? Before this, the National Health and Family Planning Commission requested that medical treatment expenses be settled according to the prescribed channels, and delays due to cost issues are strictly prohibited.
