First, the price of drugs has dropped.
After the medical insurance upgrade in 2020, simply understand what has changed. First, the price of drugs has dropped. Many imported drugs that I used to eat can now be given very low prices and have been included in the social security scope. For example, it used to take a course of treatment. Tens of thousands of dollars, then after the medical insurance upgrade, it may only take a few thousand dollars to solve it. This is a good welfare for most people, because the coverage of reimbursement drugs has increased. At the same time, many drugs are included in the scope of medical insurance, because they may not be available in the past, but now many hospitals can buy them, especially some anti-cancer and anti-tumor drugs, which will greatly reduce our economic burden.
Second, the proportion of reimbursement has increased.
We all know that if medical insurance is classified, such as Class A and Class B, then Class A can be fully reimbursed and Class B can only be partially reimbursed. After this medical insurance upgrade, many drugs have been upgraded from Class B to Class A, that is to say. In the future, more people will spend less on medical care. At the same time, this adjustment of medical insurance has directly increased the reimbursement rate of many drugs from less than 100% to 100%, which is a real welfare and material benefit for most people.
Third, more drug reimbursement.
Regarding the coverage of medical insurance before, many people who were seriously ill were not guaranteed. So after the establishment of this medical insurance, 148 kinds of drugs were added, including national essential drugs, drugs for treating cancer and some rare and serious diseases, and drugs for children. At the same time, there are 128 kinds of drugs included in the scope of medical insurance, which mainly involve chronic diseases such as cancer, rare diseases, hepatitis C, hepatitis B and diabetes.
Finally, medical insurance is the basic guarantee for everyone. In the past, the coverage was not so wide. Now, with the medical insurance reform, I believe people's lives will get better and better.
