Azar says that the coronavirus-the package, which was passed by Congress includes $ 100 billion to the healthcare system, which “will be imposed not to bill the uninsured for the cost of their care.” The amount corresponds to more than 690 billion.
instead, hospitals and health care professionals get reimbursed for the amount through Medicare, a government insurance program for the elderly.
Azar adds that people who have recently lost their jobs and thus their insurance, will get a special approach to health care, which was adopted by the former president Barack Obama.
